This gathering will be an engaging evening where the forum day’s big ideas meet real-world execution—where startup founders, product leaders, digital creators, and investors engage with central bankers, regulators, and ecosystem architects.

About the Hosts
One Africa Markets
One Africa Markets is a leading global financial markets firm across payments, fixed income, commodities and technology. One Africa Markets connects the world to Africa and Africa to the world, unlocking seamless pathways for trade, investment, and growth.
Akuna Wallet is an inclusive digital wallet tailored to Africa’s creative economy, starting by empowering Ghanaian creators to transform their imagination into income by getting paid directly from international platforms — faster and more affordably.
Despite making up 18% of the global population, Africa contributes less than 1% to the global creative economy, largely due to challenges in receiving global payments. Akuna Wallet eliminates this barrier by providing content creators, artists, musicians, designers, and other digital workers with a world-class, blockchain-powered solution to receive low-cost payments from international creator platforms.
Developed in partnership with the Stellar Development Foundation (SDF) and under the purview of the Bank of Ghana’s Fintech Office’s Sandbox, Akuna Wallet is currently onboarding a limited group of users, with broader access expected later. Creators in Ghana can join the waitlist at akunawallet.com.
Paystack
Acquired by Stripe in 2020, Paystack is a technology company that powers growth for incredible businesses in Africa. Over 350,000 organizations of all sizes - from startups to government agencies - use Paystack to collect online and in-person payments securely, and to provide a modern, delightful payments experience.
Over the long term, Paystack aims to ensure that all African businesses can go toe-to-toe with the best companies on the planet and win.
