NexChange Group and Marita Group Co-Host Africa Blockchain Week Virtual Summit to Showcase Continent's Technological Leapfrog
HONG KONG, March 17, 2021 /PRNewswire-Asianet/ --

The inaugural Africa Blockchain Week will launch from June 28th to July 1st 
2021.

NexChange Group, a blockchain ecosystem and venture builder and MARITA Group, 
an African conglomerate will combine forces to co-host this Virtual Summit. The 
event will feature key industry players and decision-makers contributing to 
regulation, application, investment and education across many African 
countries. 

Juwan Lee, Chairman of NexChange Group: "Africa is the next big move for 
blockchain. We see not just opportunities in the payment space and financial 
inclusion, but we see significant institutional involvement."

The new reality has proven technology to be a bridge to a better future. Strong 
ties between African countries, like the cooperation South-South, encouraged by 
HRH Mohammed VI go beyond just politics. New economic bridges ensure that 
Africa is able to bypass certain steps on a technological stair, positioning 
itself ahead of the global curve. Described by the World Bank and called 
leapfrogging, it relies strongly on enhanced technologies including blockchain.

Rahhal Boulgoute, Chairman of Marita Group: "Blockchain will revolutionize 
Africa and provide opportunities for financial inclusion. It is important that 
we expose blockchain technology in Africa."

The impact is seen on Africa's financial map. Over the last years, digital 
banking and mobile payments have proven to be a real-life case study for 
millions of users, making people's financial lives better, ensuring inclusion, 
and changing the game for the unbanked. Banks, enterprises, and entrepreneurs 
are changing the continent's destiny, shaping the investment landscape.  

This event backs the efforts of the African regulators to adopt the required 
regulations to embrace blockchain and become a main global player in the 
technologies shaping the future. The ambition of the Co-hosts is to make Africa 
Blockchain Week the key platform for dialogue and networking between all 
stakeholders in blockchain to transform it into a reality in Africa.
