CFTE embarked on a remarkable journey at the inaugural Inclusive FinTech Forum 2023 in Africa. The esteemed policymakers, entrepreneurs, and leaders gathered and fostered sustainable development strategies for inclusive FinTech.
In the career forum, our co-founder, Tram Anh Nguyen, joined a panel discussion with Nikola Pavesic, Tessi Rusagra, and Vanessa K Umutono, where the dialogue embarked on the future job market and the evolving skill requirements in the era of AI.

This main discussion includes
- Disruptive technologies shaping the current financial landscape
- Identification of current skills gap and vital skills requirements in the job market
- Introducing the SHIME framework to advance career in the dynamic market
- A long-term solution to upskill and reskill careers in the era of AI
We are also inspired by amazing forums and roundtable discussions, such as Industry Unplugged: Expert Conversations, Opening Remarks by Hon Claudette Irene, Women in FinTech, and many more sessions that were truly incredible.
It is remarkable to have Elevandi organised part of the Inclusive Fintech Forum, a special day for hundreds of students to join and to listen to invaluable insights into the broader FinTech ecosystem.
As part of the initiative, Elevandi with CFTE and Singapore Management University congratulate the first 3 top performing students who are completing the FinTech in Africa course. This programme is designed to support all the students in Africa and give them an opportunity to take the programme. We hope this will help more as we’re extending it until the end of Year 2024.

Seeing the enthusiasm and curiosity of the young students in Africa, avid learning, and curiosity towards FinTech is truly heart-warming, and we believe that they hold immense potential for the future development of FinTech and potential technology advancement on the African continent.

Expressing huge thanks and appreciation to Elevandi and Kigali International Financial Center for organising such an inspiring event! It was great to reconnect with old friends and connect with amazing founders, and leaders in the FinTech ecosystem. CFTE team alongside the co-founder Tram Anh was extremely honoured to join the inaugural Inclusive Fintech Forum in Kigali, Rwanda.
