WELCOME TO THE DISRUPT 2019 CONFERENCE

30 years ago when the World Wide Web was invented, Sir Tim-Berners Lee could

not have imagined the impact his invention would have on the world as we know it.

At that point, it was largely used by scientists in academia. Four years later, on April

30, 1993, the European Organization for Nuclear Research put the web in the public

domain. That decision altered everything - from the way we communicate, to the

way we do things in the last quarter of the century.

The Africa Fintech Foundry, powered by Access Bank, aims to do the same as Sir

Tim Berners-Lee. We aim to help innovators harness the power of their innovations,

give them a platform to test and go to market, and provide them unparalleled

access to global financial, technology, business, and investor partner networks. We

aim to enable the move of brilliant, tested ideas into the market, and continually

disrupt the technological ecosystem in that process.

FOREWORD

‘SEGUN ADENIYI

‘ SEGUN ADENIYI

Head, Africa Fintech Foundry

The evolution of technology and the 4th Industrial Revolution is about opportunity. It is about using the power of technology

to harness the opportunities that avail in Africa. It is about giving African Innovators the space, time and tools to put their

ideas to test for the development of Africa as a whole.

Our 1st edition of the Disrupt Conference in 2017 attracted over 500 like-minded delegates whose common goal is

collaborating to use Technology as a driver for Innovation and Disruption in various industries. Disrupt 2019 will be bigger

and better. Alongside a plethora of interactive panel discussions on Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Blockchain, and Data

Analytics, we will be showcasing the growing value of data as the future currency of the new Tech economy through loads

of interactive, fun and engaging sessions, world-class speakers, and a phenomenal array of exhibitors who are industry and

thought leaders in the Technology space. We have also lined up some exciting startups to showcase how they are using

technology to disrupt traditional models across a multiplicity of industries.

We have put a lot in place to ensure you have the best experience possible. We look forward to seeing you at the conference.

Financial solution providers in the global financial services sector

are facing stiffer competition from new players in the financial

technology (FinTech) space.

Emerging technologies such as blockchain, cryptocurrency,

AI and the interconnectedness of the Internet of Things are

disrupting traditional business models.

The need to digitally transform and innovate in a customer-

centric and engaged manner has never been more important to

traditional financial service providers than now.

In 2018, the biggest trends in Financial Services were:• Artificial Intelligence

• Robotics Process Automation

• Mobile Financial Services

• Digital-only banking

• Biometrics Technology

• Blockchain Technology

2019 trends, in addition to those forecasted in 2018 which are still trending are:• Automatic Savings and Pay Down Apps and Services

• Voice Technology

• Focus on Cyber Security

• Augmented/Virtual Reality

• Cloud Computing

TREP LABSTREP LABS is designed to provide and build low-cost hardware solutions to

health problems in Africa. The lab believes that connectivity will shift health

care from curing sickness, to enabling wellness. We are on a mission to

reduce mortality rates by empowering today’s medical teams with low-cost

medical devices to eliminate preventable clinical and surgical errors. We’ve

built REALDRIP, an infusion monitoring device to make blood transfusion

and drip treatment simpler and safer.

FOUNDERDaniel Bloch

SESOSeso utilizes Blockchain to solve the lending challenges in emerging economies.

We build land registries to scale real estate markets. Our product is a software

solution for banks to digitize their loan creation process and portfolios to

efficiently provide capital. We aggregate land and credit data for our clients to

easily analyse risk during the lending process.

Through the platform, our clients (banks) can interact with property developers

to receive trusted homes to offer to customers, as well as generate contracts and

review land service providers, such as surveyors and valuers. These transactions

will develop a digital mortgage registry that can be queried to instantaneously

retrieve land information, and prevent banks from lending against the same

properties. We are confident our solution has the capabilities to unlock the trapped

capital throughout Africa, facilitating investments into the real estate industry.

FOUNDERSChukwunonso Arinze and Princess Oti

KAOSHIKaoshi is a company that develops financial technologies to solve the

challenges faced by banks and financial institutions in emerging markets. Our

launch product is a peer-to-peer currency exchange platform, designed for

African banks to enable their customers send money out of Africa in a cheap

and convenient manner. This contrasts with the current experience marked by

expensive fees and hassle involved in processing foreign exchange to enable

such outward remittance. Foreign exchange is scarce in a lot of Sub-Saharan

African countries; thus, they are heavily regulated by the government, and

banks are unable to service retail remittances in Sub-Saharan Africa.

As a result of the above, consumers have resorted to informal channels like

exchanging money with friends, relatives, or even strangers in a bid to avoid

the high remittance costs. However, these channels are very risky, fragmented

and difficult to scale; therefore, Kaoshi has developed a peer-to-peer money

exchange platform that brings bank-level security to the informal money

exchange method of remittance in Africa.

Kaoshi’s platform allows users sending money in opposite directions to

exchange their currencies in a safe, easy, and organized manner, resulting in a

cheap and convenient international money transfer experience.
