Disrupt Podcast – Finnovating for Africa

Disrupt Africa has partnered AZA Finance, Revio, EMURGO Middle East & Africa, and MoneyHash to release a two-part podcast series on the African fintech space – how it works, what its dynamics are, and what is happening in the sector.

Co-hosted by Gabriella Mulligan and Tom Jackson, Disrupt Podcast helps keep listeners in the loop on all that’s going on in the African tech startup ecosystem. Following on from the success of its first few “podumentary” series, including “The essential guide to African VC”, Disrupt Africa has now released “Finnovating for Africa – how African fintechs are solving for inclusion”, a two-part look at the continent’s fintech space.

Produced in partnership with AZA Finance, Revio, EMURGO Middle East & Africa, and MoneyHash, and featuring special guests from the company, the series really digs into African fintech – where it has come from, where it is now, and where it is going, all the while drawing on the findings of Disrupt Africa’s recent Finnovating for Africa research publication.
