The Next 3 Billion ON TOUR: South Africa

As one of Africa’s most industrialized economies and a G20 member, South Africa plays a pivotal role in advancing digital and financial inclusion across the region. With a strong financial infrastructure and growing global influence through the B20 and G20, the country is well-positioned to drive the next wave of innovation and access. As the second stop on The Next 3 Billion Tour, this reception will explore how South Africa’s leadership can help scale inclusive solutions across borders — from interoperable digital payments and cross-regional investment to expanding connectivity and strengthening women’s access to financial tools.
