The AccounTech Summit International returns for its highly anticipated second edition on 27–28 August 2025 at The Hall Conference Center, Victoria Island, Lagos.
Convened by The Techy Accountant under the umbrella of the Lefort Foundation and held in partnership with the Fintech Association of Nigeria (FintechNGR) and ACCA, the summit carries the timely theme: “Integrating Technology and Finance Sustainability: A Blueprint for the Future.”
This year’s edition expands the summit’s remit beyond knowledge exchange to deliver tangible outcomes from capacity development and investment readiness to ecosystem building and policy influence.
It is designed to convene an influential cross-section of the finance-tech landscape: regulators, CFOs and finance leaders, fintech founders, accountants, investors, development partners, researchers, hub operators, and a new generation of finance and tech professionals.
Why this theme matters
“Integrating Technology and Finance Sustainability” captures an urgent challenge and an immense opportunity. Organisations today must adopt digital tools not only to drive efficiency but to embed environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles into financial decision-making.
The summit will interrogate how automation, AI, cloud-native finance tools, open banking, and sustainability frameworks can be deployed in tandem to create resilient business models, protect financial stability, and accelerate inclusive economic growth across Africa. Attendees will leave with strategic frameworks and practical approaches; a true “blueprint” they can implement.
