Flutterwave UNGA 81 will bring senior public and private sector leaders together as the African payments technology company seeks to shape discussions around the continent’s next phase of economic growth.
Flutterwave announced its executive engagements ahead of the 81st United Nations General Assembly, known as UNGA 81. The meetings will focus on financial infrastructure, investment and economic transformation.
The company said it will use its payment, banking and stablecoin capabilities to support Africa’s growing digital economy.
The engagements come under the broader UNGA theme of restoring trust and managing transformation. Flutterwave says stronger financial systems can help African economies respond to changing global economic conditions.
As part of its programme, Flutterwave will host an invitation-only executive forum on 23 September 2026.
The event, titled “Africa Forward: Investing in the Next Decade of Growth,” will bring together senior decision-makers from the public and private sectors.
The discussions will focus on the financial systems needed to expand cross-border trade. Participants will also examine ways to improve international money transfers and increase access to institutional capital.
Flutterwave UNGA 81 also highlights the growing role of digital financial services in Africa’s economic development.
For many African businesses, moving money across borders remains a major challenge. Therefore, discussions around faster and more efficient payment systems have become increasingly important.
The company says its presence at UNGA 81 reflects its broader focus on building financial infrastructure that can support businesses and consumers across Africa.
However, the discussions will extend beyond payments. They will also address investment, trade and the wider financial systems required to support long-term economic growth.
The executive forum therefore provides a platform for leaders to discuss how Africa can attract more capital while strengthening its participation in the global economy.
Flutterwave UNGA 81 comes at a time when digital finance continues to change how businesses and individuals send, receive and manage money.
The company said the event will help advance conversations about the financial rails needed to unlock Africa’s economic potential over the next decade.
