Project: Fintech ecosystem in Morocco.

The project utilizes the Delphi method to analyze Morocco’s Fintech sector, engaging a panel of 46 experts from diverse backgrounds—including investors, accelerators, academia, and banking. Through a structured three-phase process, the project refined a comprehensive list of sector-specific challenges and potential strategic actions. It streamlined the initial broad set of considerations into a focused agenda, aimed at guiding policymakers and industry stakeholders in promoting the sector’s growth.

Project: African Fintech: A Ten-Year Media Retrospective.

Africa’s financial sector has been transformed by fintech, supported by policies and investments, leading to innovative solutions like mobile payments that promote financial inclusion, with media coverage crucial in encouraging this growth. However, research on media representation of African fintech is limited. This study analyzes a decade of news coverage to understand media narratives and their impact on fintech’s role in Africa’s economic advancement.
