Flutterwave’s Oluwabankole Falade Calls for Bolder Innovations to Unlock Africa’s Digital Future

At the United Nations 80th General Assembly’s Foreign Policy Tech & AI Forum, Oluwabankole Falade, chief legal, Regulatory Affairs, and Public Policy Officer at Flutterwave, captivated delegates with a rallying call for transformative innovation in Africa’s digital economy.

Setting the scene, Falade described Africa as a continent alive with opportunity, a place with “a truly young population, extremely curious people, and early adopters of technology,” eager for technology-driven change to leapfrog all infrastructure gaps, stressing that the future demands bold ideas to harness these strengths for a connected and developed continent.

Throughout his engaging discussion with Afua Osei, Ddirector of Strategic Partnerships at Foreign Policy, Falade spotlighted recent breakthroughs such as the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Ghana and Rwanda to implement a licence passporting framework and cross-border payment interoperability for regulated fintech companies, and the African Continental Free Trade Area Agreement (AfCFTA).

These milestones, he argued, demonstrate what is possible when regulators, innovators, and businesses collaborate in earnest, and added that, “We have only scratched the surface” of the continent’s vast potential.

Flutterwave’s infrastructure now spans more than 30 African countries, yet Falade emphasised that small and medium-sized enterprises making up over 90 per cent of businesses still struggle against high operational costs and fragmented systems. He noted that while millions of entrepreneurs have the drive to succeed, their progress is often hindered by avoidable barriers, urging industry leaders to make practical changes so that businesses can scale and flourish.

The conversation closed with Falade’s powerful invitation: “If you’re truly serious about business, Africa is the next frontier.” With Flutterwave at the forefront, Africa’s digital transformation is no longer a distant dream, it’s happening, and it’s the result of ambition, collaboration, and a commitment to real, meaningful change.
