Beyond Payments: Africa’s Agentic Commerce Infrastructure

​Commerce is changing. As AI agents become more capable, they’ll do more than help people find information. They’ll discover products, make decisions, and complete transactions on behalf of people and businesses.

​At Beyond Payments: Building Africa’s Agentic Commerce Infrastructure, we’re bringing together leaders across payments, AI, commerce, and enterprise technology to explore what this shift means for businesses building across Africa.

​We’re moving beyond the AI hype to focus on the question that matters: what infrastructure must Africa build today to support a future where people, businesses and AI agents can transact reliably and securely?

​Faster payments are only the start. The bigger opportunity is intelligent infrastructure that helps developers build faster, businesses operate smarter, and payment ecosystems support new ways of transacting. Africa shouldn’t just participate in this future; it should help build it.
