Digital and Financial Inclusion Summit

The Digital and Financial Inclusion Summit, also known as the #IncludeEveryone Summit, is a flagship event for the HiPipo Include Everyone program that has been generously supported by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation for a number of years now. This globally-renowned summit brings together a diverse group of stakeholders, including operators, banks, FinTechs, regulators, supervisors, women leaders in finance, and government officials from around the world.

The annual summit is a strategic gathering of esteemed leaders in both the for-profit and not-for-profit sectors of digital inclusion, financial inclusion and cybersecurity.

The Summit provides a unique platform for stakeholders to collaborate, exchange ideas, and identify industry partnerships that can drive successful collaborations within their own organizations. As a result, the event has gained a reputation as a critical gathering for digital inclusion and digital financial services (DFS) actors, particularly those focused on advancing financial inclusion in emerging markets like Uganda and Africa.

At the Summit, participants engage in lively discussions, share best practices, and gain insight into the future of DFS in the region. The program features expert-led panel sessions that cover a range of topics related to interoperability, digital transformation, financial inclusion, inclusive finance, digital innovation, FinTech, cybersecurity, and digital financial services. These sessions provide valuable real-world examples, practical guidance, and an opportunity for participants to engage in meaningful dialogue with their peers.

One of the key areas of focus at the Summit is the development of interoperable real-time retail digital payment platforms that can serve low-income consumers and merchants, bringing them into the formal financial economy. This is a critical priority for the Gates Foundation’s Level One Project Initiative, which aims to accelerate financial inclusion by developing frameworks and solutions for the 1.9 billion people worldwide who are still unbanked or underserved.

Supporting the Digital and Financial Inclusion Summit will help to advance the cause of financial inclusion, drive digital innovation, and DFS, and empower underserved populations around the world, especially women. By engaging with this important event, you will have the opportunity to connect with like-minded stakeholders, exchange ideas, and explore new partnerships that can make a real difference in the lives of millions of people.

Now in its 10th edition, the Digital and Financial Inclusion Summit remains as one of the most significant platforms for digital innovation and financial inclusion stakeholders to participate in discussions on driving digital financial inclusion and empowering underserved communities through collaborative efforts.
