Segunfunmi Oyedele, founder of Raiz, the pioneering digital bank transforming Nigeria’s financial landscape, will be a distinguished panelist at the 7th edition of the Spotlight Nigeria Business and Investment Forum.

The event will be held on October 9, 2024, at L’Hotel de l’Industrie, Paris, bringing together key players in the business and technology sectors to discuss digital innovation in Nigeria.

“Participating in Spotlight Nigeria is an incredible opportunity to discuss how digital innovation can shape the future of banking in Africa. At Raiz, we’re committed to leveraging technology to break down financial barriers and provide Africans with the tools they need to thrive in a global economy. I look forward to sharing our vision and learning from other industry leaders.”

Joining Segunfunmi on the panel will be prominent figures in the technology and business sectors, including Ajibola Odukoya, Chief Operating Officer of Afrilabs; Ijidolapo Jiwoye, CEO of Tradeflow Africa; Tamim El Zein, Partner at Seedstars Africa Ventures; and Aanu Oyeniran, Business Lead at Data Science Nigeria.
