Kenya pioneered mobile money, establishing a model for financial inclusion across Africa and beyond. With one of the highest rates of financial account ownership in Sub-Saharan Africa, the country now faces a new challenge: moving beyond access to drive meaningful economic participation and expand opportunities for millions.

As part of Semafor’s The Next 3 Billion: On Tour series, Semafor editors will convene leaders from finance, technology, business, and government in Nairobi to explore how digital infrastructure, artificial intelligence, and emerging technologies can advance financial inclusion and unlock economic opportunity across the continent.
