The Thesis
Africa will not integrate through isolated sector wins. It will integrate when its systems move in sync.

AfCFTA is operational. PAPSS now connects 19 countries across four regions, with over 150 commercial banks on the network. 40% of African adults own a mobile money account. Intra-African trade grew 12.4% in 2024. The rails exist. The connectivity is incomplete.

The gap is not ambition. The gap is coordination — between sectors built to solve their own problems in isolation. Payments knows its problem. Logistics knows its problem. Policy knows its problem. Very few rooms exist where these actors are forced to confront their interdependence. The Integration Stack is that room. On Africa Integration Day. In Kigali. With people who can actually move things.

The Format
01
Opening Dialogue
A flagship cross-sector keynote conversation. Four to five senior voices spanning payments, logistics, connectivity, and policy — designed to surface the system's interdependencies in real time.
09:00 – 10:15
02
Executive Roundtables
Three parallel tables of 15–18 delegates, cross-sector by design. Each table works a specific interdependence question. Outputs documented and fed into the day's communiqué.
10:30 – 12:00
03
Matchmaking Labs
The Bouquet Experience — pre-scheduled bilateral sessions, 15 minutes per pairing, 3–4 rounds. Every introduction pre-curated around a specific partnership thesis.
14:30 – 16:00
04
Strategic Case Sessions
Live case presentations from companies actively navigating multi-market expansion. Each case followed by a structured cross-sector response. No pitching — this is a problem-solving format.
13:15 – 14:30
05
Policy Response Session
Institutional and regulatory stakeholders respond directly to friction points surfaced earlier in the day. Structured, not free-form. Commitments to action are made explicit.
16:00 – 16:45
06
Leadership Dinner
An intimate, curated dinner for 40–50 delegates. Off-record. Designed for the conversations that don't happen in a formal setting. Hackapath hosts.
19:30 – 22:00
Dialogue Themes
Six
Structured
Provocations

These are not panels. Each theme is a structured provocation designed to surface a systems-level question that no single sector can answer alone. Every session ends with a documented output — a commitment made, a match agreed, a pilot identified.
