Can SuperApps Reign Supreme?

As financial activity increasingly migrates to mobile, the emphasis on superapps will only grow in 2024 and beyond. Nowhere is this trend more salient than in Africa, where widespread mobile adoption exists alongside infrastructural challenges.

The upcoming session ‘SuperApps: One App to Rule Them All?’, will attempt to lay bare these challenges and figure out tangible solutions. Look for participating fintech leaders to discuss the efficacy of the superapps within this scope. Should these constructs be viewed as a panacea or is there a more layered set of constraints that must be compensated for?
