Catapult: Inclusion Africa
A unique program of African Fintech for Financial Inclusion startup development.
At the LHoFT, we strongly believe that financial technology is crucial to advancing financial inclusion, empowering groups that have been left behind by the traditional financial system.
Whether it’s financing for rural farmers, point of sale technology for underbanked merchants, or specialised insurance products, the positive impact being driven by entrepreneurship is improving lives around the world. As such, Financial Inclusion is a key focus of the LHoFT Foundation.
Building on the success of the previous editions of CATAPULT: Inclusion Africa, we are thrilled to host the 5th acceleration bootcamp in Luxembourg between 24th and 28th October 2022.
