- Thursday, 3rd September 14:45 - 15:25Building Financial Inclusion to Accelerate the Digital Economy
Financial inclusion goes beyond access to bank accounts. It is about enabling underserved communities such as students, gig workers, and women without formal salaried accounts to fully participate in the digital economy. By unlocking inclusive financial tools, we can expand economic opportunity, drive innovation, and fuel sustainable digital growth. This session explores how inclusive financial ecosystems become catalysts for broader commerce, resilience, and long-term economic empowerment.
