We are happy to announce that registration for the fourth edition of the HiPipo 40 Days 40 FinTechs has opened. Without a doubt, the HiPipo 40 Days 40 FinTechs initiative has put the Innovation and Financial Inclusion bar very high; particularly showcasing both the time and lifesaving abilities of Financial Technology.
Although the 2020 and 2021 seasons ran in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, they laid the groundwork for this project with more than 200 submissions and about 85 shortlisted participants altogether. The third edition, which ran in 2022, was even much bigger and better as it focused on the East African region. Some 47 participants, drawn from Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania were featured, out of more than 150 submissions. It was captivating to find out how Financial Technology (#FinTech) is transforming the lives of millions from across the region.
#40Days40FinTechs Season Four is here and will specially focus on not only Innovativeness but will also pay keen attention to the actual impact of each featured Innovation.
Run under HiPipo’s Include Everyone program that also encompasses other initiatives such as FinTech Landscape Exhibition, Women in FinTech Hackathon, Summit & Incubator, and the Digital and Financial Inclusion Summit and Digital Impact Awards Africa; the #40Days40FinTechs platform aptly provides a setting for the various players and stakeholders involved in digital and financial technology to exhibit their products and services. It also gives players a platform to share their ideas on how the unserved and underserved by the present financial systems can be brought into the fold.
#40Days40FinTechs continues to be the world’s premier showcase event for innovations that are enabling underserved populations to join the digital economy space. We know that this can only get better owing to the inspiration and collaboration of our partners; Level One Project, Mojaloop Foundation, INFITX, Cyberplc Academy, Ideation Corner and Crosslake Technologies. Most importantly, the initiative owes its continued success to the generous support of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
Now is the time for Digital Innovators and FinTechs from all over East Africa to register before 12th May 2023 and stand a chance to participate in 40 Days 40 FinTechs Season Four. Participation is on a first-come, first-serve basis as long as your submission meets all the participation requirements.
