With just five days to go, Ghana readies to host the maiden Digital Assets Summit Africa (DASA) 2025, as global attention turns to Accra for critical conversations on regulation, innovation, and financial inclusion.
Scheduled for September 29–30 at the Ghana –India Kofi Annan Centre of Excellence (GI-KACE) Centre, DASA 2025 will convene policymakers, regulators, banks, fintech leaders, blockchain innovators, and global investors to chart a collective vision for Africa’s digital financial future.
On the theme “Unlocking Africa’s Digital Economy Through Innovation & Regulation,” the Summit comes at a pivotal moment, with more than 560 million people worldwide adopting digital assets and African nations such as Nigeria, Kenya, and South Africa leading in regulatory reforms.
A statement issued by DASA to the Ghana News Agency announced that Professor Samuel Kobina Annim, former Government Statistician of Ghana and newly appointed Director of the Africa Centre for Statistics at the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA), will join the Summit as a distinguished speaker. He is expected to address the critical role of data and evidence-based policymaking in digital finance regulation and adoption.
“Professor Annim’s new role is a point of pride for Ghana and the continent,” the Organising Committee stated. “His participation underscores Africa’s determination not just to join but to lead the global digital finance conversation.”
The programme will feature high-level keynotes from regulators and global thought leaders, fireside chats and panels on central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), tokenisation, and cross-border payments, alongside a Startup Pitch Competition spotlighting Africa’s most promising fintechs.
Other highlights include sessions on women in digital assets and strategies for inclusive growth, networking receptions, and private roundtables for policymakers and investors. Beyond regulation, the Summit will emphasise entrepreneurship and inclusion, with mentorship and service packages awaiting winners of the Startup Pitch Competition.
A dedicated session on empowering women in digital assets will further highlight the importance of gender equity in Africa’s fast-evolving fintech and blockchain ecosystem.
According to organisers, DASA 2025 is more than a conference; it is a strategic movement designed to position Africa at the centre of global digital finance transformation by bridging regulators, traditional financial institutions, and digital innovators.
With tickets nearly sold out, organisers have encouraged registered delegates to confirm attendance to secure entry badges and early bird souvenirs.
