We invite you to our upcoming Professional Development Workshop (PDW) titled "Financial Technology and the Emerging Digital Money Market: What Can we Learn From Africa?" During this PDW academic and industry experts will delve into the dynamic realm of FinTech and the nascent digital money market, with a particular focus on Africa's pioneering advancements in this market. We will contrast the learning from Africa with the experience from other contexts (e.g. Europe, Asia and North America). We will discuss topics such as: FinTech, Digital Money Market, Central Bank Digital Currency, Cryptocurrency, complementary currency, and Financial Inclusion.
Join us as we explore the implications and uncover opportunities for further research in the areas of strategy, entrepreneurship, digital transformation, innovation, and societal grand challenges.
