Regulation can either accelerate or constrain how capital recycles through Africa’s innovation ecosystem. This panel explores the regulatory role in shaping exit options — from M&A and strategic acquisitions to local and global listings. It will examine how capital markets in Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, and beyond are evolving, and what reforms could unlock more accessible pathways to liquidity. By bringing together regulators, stock exchange representatives, and ecosystem players, the conversation aims to surface candid perspectives on what’s working, what needs to change, and how regulation can actively support sustainable exits across the continent.
A data-backed reflection on capital flows into Africa’s innovation ecosystem — who is deploying, what LPs expect today, and how fund managers must adapt. Furthermore, rather than viewing Africa in isolation, this keynote will draw on comparative data from Latin America and India — highlighting trends in VC inflows, exits, fund sizes, and ecosystem maturity — to situate Africa’s trajectory within the broader evolution of emerging markets. By showing how peers navigated macro turbulence before scaling, the keynote frames Africa’s current challenges as part of a proven growth journey, setting the stage for deeper conversations on DPI, sustainability, and institutional readiness.
This intimate fireside chat will bring together the CEOs of Flutterwave and Moniepoint – two of Africa’s few unicorns – for a candid conversation about what it really takes to scale to a billion-dollar company.
