As part of the upcoming Blockchain Week ZA, MakerDAO, Centrifuge, Linum Labs and The UCT Financial Innovation Lab have joined forces to bring you a DeFi event in Cape Town.

With a focus on highlighting the challenges of financial inclusion in the region, the participating projects will share their insight from developing solutions in the open decentralised finance ecosystem such as ensuring a stable monetary infrastructure, expanding financing opportunities to MSME’s, or enabling faster and cheaper remittances (just to name a few).

For this event, we will bring some of the most exciting DeFi projects under one roof to discuss financial inclusion. To ensure knowledge exchange and increase the potential of the event’s impact on the region, we have invited several local and international startups and companies that are building open financial infrastructure relevant to the African region. As our ecosystem partners, they will join the conversation and contribute their valuable insights and perspectives. This event is all about providing a platform for supporting a discussion and the formation of new collaborations to advance the current status quo.
