African tech's main meeting, with a Money & DeFi track.
Africa Tech Summit Nairobi connects the continent's startups, investors, corporates and regulators, with fintech and DeFi as one of its four tracks.
Africa Tech Summit Nairobi is one of the main technology conferences on the continent, now in its ninth edition. It takes place at the Sarit Expo Centre and expects more than 2,000 delegates from over 1,000 companies, with 170 speakers and 90 exhibitors.
The summit has four tracks: Money & DeFi, AI & Digital, Climate Tech & Investment, and a Startup Summit. It is a broad technology event, not a crypto conference, but Africa is where mobile money, stablecoins and crypto payments meet most directly, and the Money & DeFi track covers exactly that.
