About
Uganda's Premier Fintech Platform
The FITSPA Annual Fintech Conference is Uganda's flagship platform for fintech dialogue, partnership-building, and thought leadership. Over eight editions, it has grown from an industry gathering focused on emerging regulatory and licensing issues into a strategic national platform that brings together regulators, policymakers, investors, financial institutions, telecoms, development partners, and innovators to shape the direction of Uganda's digital financial services ecosystem.
Building on the momentum of previous editions, the 2026 conference is designed to move the conversation beyond dialogue — toward practical action, stronger partnerships, and solutions that support responsible growth of Uganda's fintech ecosystem.
