Kenyan developers set to benefit from program to accelerate fintech innovation

Africa’s innovators and start-ups will have the ability to scale their ideas in new markets following the launch of Rise, a physical and virtual community that facilitates collaboration and fintech innovation.    

Funded by the Barclays Africa Group, Rise is ideally positioned to take advantage of technology solutions that are not reliant on physical infrastructure. This is particularly relevant in the African context as it provides developing markets with an opportunity to leapfrog ageing analogue infrastructure deployed in most developed economies and with it the ability to solve some of Africa’s development challenges.
