What does it take for financial institutions to stay ahead in this digital age? Staying ahead means embracing new paradigms. Jason Cao, CEO of Huawei Digital Finance BU, introduces the "4 Zeros" approach to building financial resilience, which is quite clever: 👉 Zero Downtime: Keep services running 24/7 without interruptions. 👉 Zero Wait: Make every interaction instant, from checking balances to completing transactions. 👉 Zero Touch: Automate routine tasks to reduce errors and free up time for strategic work. 👉 Zero Trust: Implement strict security measures to protect every part of the financial ecosystem It's quite a practical strategy. Huawei's vision goes beyond traditional banking. Their iBASE framework (Insight-Blueprint-Architecture-Step-Evaluation) guides institutions through digital transformation, from planning and construction to continuous improvement. Read about this in more depth in the article below. Personally, I think it's brilliant and essential for financial institutions to partner with experts for IT modernisation. Because navigating this complex transformation alone isn't just daunting—it's risky. It's a tough world out there, and financial resilience means figuring out how to thrive. The future belongs to those who can innovate, adapt, and maintain...

Valuable insights from the Keynote speaker, Sir Chris Foltz (Transformation Strategist, Startup Advisor, Inspirational Speaker, and the Managing Director of the Silicon Valley-established firm Responsible Solutions Ltd) at the just concluded #UgwumbaEnterpriseChallenge organized by Ugwumba Leadership Center: #3 simple rules he lives by daily that if we follow, are going to help us along in our journey: 1️⃣ Never forget where you came from: Never forget the lessons, morals and values you were taught when you were young. Or the struggles that you went through and overcame them to get to where you are today. You can never tell you're moving forward if you don't know where you started from. 2️⃣ Never lose sight of where you're going: It's easy to lose sight of where you're going, especially if you forget where you came from. It's easy to look in another direction. It's easy to give up. It's easy to become somebody you don't want to be. 3️⃣ Always take the time to stop and find out what makes you the same: The same as everybody else in the room. We spend so much of our time focusing on what makes us different that we forget what makes us the same. If we all take the time to find out what makes us the same, we'll be able to positively affect the world through collaborative innovation. #youcantoo #buildinganempire #kcumejiego

Honoured to have been invited again to talk at AFSIC this year, the largest investment conference dedicated to Africa. Key points to share: 1. Within 25 years from now approx 25% of all adults in working age in the world will have been born in Africa. It is crucial that they get access to the same development services as people in other regions. 2. Data shows that approx. 900m people in Africa have no access to any form of financial services, which affects massively their capacity to access health; education; and of course reach prosperity. 3. Mobile phone operators have done a great job over the last 15 years bringing financial services to people having a phone. Such services are however still out of reach for the hundreds of millions of people who cannot afford to buy phones or have no mobile coverage where they live. 4. There are no indications that this will improve fast enough anytime soon. We therefore need to think outside of the box and create solutions which allow financial inclusion to happen even when there is no connectivity or phones. 5. Swiss Fintech company VeryPay presented one of such solutions at AFSIC: a connected bracelet costing only a few USD to manufacture and allowing to pay by NFC even in total absence of connectivity, allowing to extend the reach of mobile money to the 75% of the African territory where it is still absent. Perfect example of making the world a better place, one simple solution at a time. Forward all! #africa #afsic #fintech #development #globalpartners4digitaldevelopment

𝐔𝐧𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐀𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚’𝐬 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡 𝐏𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥: 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐆𝐚𝐩 Africa’s tech talent landscape holds immense promise, but it faces significant challenges. From limited access to education and infrastructure to the loss of skilled professionals to other markets, the hurdles are many. Yet, the demand for digital expertise—across cloud computing, AI, and cybersecurity—continues to grow as the continent’s digital economy expands at an unprecedented pace. One initiative making waves in addressing this gap is the Vodacom Digital Skills Hub. Launched by Vodacom Group in partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft, and Skillsoft, this initiative is designed to empower young people with critical digital skills. Its goal is ambitious: to train 1 million youth by 2027 across eight African countries, equipping them with in-demand competencies like data analytics, software development, and cloud technologies. By fostering these skills, the programme aims to create a future-ready, inclusive digital economy that drives innovation, reduces unemployment, and opens doors for young Africans to compete globally. This initiative also highlights the power of collaboration—combining Vodacom’s regional expertise with the technological prowess of global partners to deliver world-class training opportunities. Efforts like Vodacom’s align with other regional initiatives, such as the The World Bank’s programs in Malawi and Tanzania, which have already connected thousands of youth to digital opportunities. These combined efforts underscore the importance of collaboration between governments, private companies, and development organisations to tackle Africa’s digital skills gap and unlock its economic potential As Africa continues its digital revolution, initiatives like this underline the importance of investing in the continent’s human capital. Equipping young people with the skills they need, it can help unlock Africa’s tech potential, laying the foundation for a more prosperous and equitable future. What are your thoughts on the role of partnerships and training in building Africa’s tech talent pool?

Reflections from Africa Tech Festival: Accelerating Africa’s Digital Transformation: Cadmus, as the Prime for the Digital Forward mechanism, can play a key role in shaping Africa’s digital landscape and partnerships. This year’s Africa Tech Festival was an exhilarating experience that highlighted the vibrant pulse of innovation and digital transformation across the continent. From discussions on connectivity and financial inclusion to debates on emerging tech and sustainable development, the event offered a front-row view of the incredible progress, as well as the challenges, that shape Africa’s digital landscape. 1. Strengthening Connectivity for the AI Era - as a Catalyst for Change A core theme throughout the festival was the urgent need for greater connectivity across rural and underserved areas and the role of AI in providing the framework as a catalyst . I was particularly inspired by the session led by the keynote Panel: Strengthening Connectivity for the AI Era, with speakers from Meta, Orange, Vodacom, Google, Accenture and Standard Bank, that highlighted innovative approaches to affordable connectivity, including mobile broadband solutions and satellite technology, which are reshaping what is possible even in the most remote areas. 2. Building a Sustainable Tech Ecosystem Sustainability was another major theme this year. The festival highlighted how African tech companies are adopting sustainable practices and innovating with the environment in mind. In one session, leaders discussed the importance of designing technology that minimizes carbon footprints and the need to create circular economies to combat e-waste. This is especially crucial as Africa’s tech ecosystem rapidly expands. Several inspiring case studies from startups highlighted how renewable energy solutions and sustainable materials are being integrated into tech products—a reminder that Africa’s tech growth can and should be harmonized with the planet’s well-being. 3. Empowering the Next Generation of Tech Talent A highlight for me was seeing the spotlight on Africa’s young tech talent. With over 60% of the continent’s population under 25, empowering the next generation is critical to sustaining and expanding the current wave of innovation. Programs discussed at the festival, like coding boot camps, tech scholarships, and mentorship initiatives, underscore the need to invest in young Africans' digital skills. The passion and creativity of Africa’s youth are evident, and they are not only ready to drive the agenda, but also set the course for transformation. Looking Ahead: A Shared Responsibility As I reflect on my time at the festival, I am inspired by the possibilities that lie ahead. Africa is poised to be a global leader in digital innovation, and events like this remind us that the future is not just about technology—it is about building a more connected, inclusive, and resilient continent.
