PAFIX and Cairo ICT: A Formula of Success
PAFIX has along the years been conveniently collocated with Cairo ICT – the leading event in Africa and the Middle East and winner of best technology exhibition in Africa in 2022.
The convenience is most importantly based on the presence of technology vendors, integrators, and Mobile network operators. The focus of Cairo ICT ’23 – now in its 27th round is Artificial Intelligence, Cloud Computing (Public Cloud), Data Centers, and Cybersecurity. Thise go in line with the needs of financial institutions and the fintech industries.
Technology providers will not be just guests, but part and parcel to the joint event, enriching the vibrant exhibition ground and the diverse forums at both ends.
For example, identity solutions by Mobile Network Operators (MNO) leverage the widespread use of mobile phones and the existing infrastructure of mobile network operators to provide digital identity services. These solutions have proven to be effective in improving financial inclusion.
Also, Mobile network operators provide mobile money services that allow users to store and transfer funds using their mobile phones. With MNO identity solutions, individuals can link their mobile money accounts to their mobile phone numbers, creating digital wallets tied to their identity, shortening the way for the overall objective.
Cairo ICT has managed through the years to attract officials from Egypt, foremost the President, and elsewhere, including cabinet ministers, heads of regional and international organizations.
