When we hosted the first Technext Coinference two years ago, we wanted innovators using the latest technology to provide solutions to share their insight and knowledge with other members of the African tech ecosystem.
Themed “Reimaging the Future of Finance,” Technext Coinference 2021 provided a visible platform for key players in the African crypto ecosystem to discuss the possibilities of cryptocurrencies to position for future leverage. Founders and operators of Blockchain companies, government representatives, and other key regulators were present at the event, and over 2000 other attendees were part of history that day.
Prince Clem Akanade Agba, the Nigerian Minister of State for Budget and National Planning, delivered the first keynote address and Hanu Fejiro Agbodje, CEO of Patricia, delivered the 2nd keynote address. Panel speakers at the event include Uzoma Dozie, CEO of Sparkle; Buchi Okoro, CEO of Quidax; Dickson Nsofor, CEO of Korapay; Austin Okere, CEO of CWG; Nkemdili Uwaje, CEO of Future Software; and Chimezie Chuta, Founder of the Blockchain Nigeria User Group.
Other panel session speakers were Emmanuel Babalola, Africa Director at Binance and Interim CEO of Bundle; Modibe Matsepena, Senior Associate of Growth in Africa at Paxful; Founder of Aza Pay; Jacqueline Madu, Osamede Arhunmwunde, Co-founder & COO at Gigx technologies, and Bitmama CEO, Ruth Iselema.
