Accra: Promark Elite Ltd, a Ghana-United Kingdom based consultancy, events, and strategic communications company, will host the inaugural Digital Assets Summit Africa (DASA) this September in Accra. The two-day forum will bring together policymakers, investors, regulators, and technology leaders from across the continent and beyond to discuss global crypto adoption.
According to Ghana News Agency, set against a backdrop of soaring global crypto adoption and growing institutional interest, the summit is poised to be a moment for the continent's digital asset ecosystem. With over 562 million global crypto users and blockchain technology moving into the mainstream, Africa is uniquely positioned to benefit. From remittances and mobile payments to the tokenisation of real-world assets, the region is already harnessing blockchain to tackle financial infrastructure challenges.
Mr Harold Agyeman, Ghana's Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the United Nations, will speak at the summit and has been quoted as saying: 'DASA is not just another tech conference. It's a platform for Africa to define its role in the global digital economy with unity, strategy, and a deep focus on inclusion.'
The two-day summit will explore critical themes such as 'Harmonising digital asset regulation across African nations', 'Enabling banks and institutions to safely adopt crypto technologies', 'Advancing financial inclusion for unbanked populations', and 'Integrating AI and blockchain in next-generation financial services.' High-profile discussions will cover central bank digital currencies, safeguarding digital assets, and building trust in decentralised finance, featuring African regulators, global digital asset firms, and financial service providers.
The summit will also include a special roundtable on 'Empowering Women in Digital Assets', aimed at elevating female leadership in blockchain and fintech. Other targeted sessions will focus on startup funding, operational transparency, and investor protection. As nations like Nigeria, Kenya, and South Africa advance their own regulatory frameworks, DASA aims to drive pan-African collaboration, fostering shared standards and interoperable systems to boost cross-border trade and digital payments.
Mr Todor Kostov, a digital economist attending the summit, expressed that Africa has the potential to lead in the digital economy with coordination, vision, and public-private partnerships. The benefits of the summit include global brand exposure, thought leadership opportunities, and access to post-event engagement analytics. The summit will conclude with a high-level networking dinner, opening doors for future collaborations, investments, and initiatives across the region.
'Whether one is a policymaker, a fintech startup, or a curious citizen, DASA 2025 offers a front-row seat to Africa's digital financial transformation,' the statement said.
