MAFH 2023 Future FinTech Champions (FFC) Programme

The Future FinTech Champion (FFC) Programme is a capacity building and networking opportunity developed by the Mauritius Africa FinTech Hub (MAFH) in 2020, sponsored for the second year by the Mauritius Commercial Bank (MCB).

The aim is to empower the workforce of the near future to be conversant with the FinTech environment, not just in Mauritius but with our Pan-African network.

Spanning over the year, participants will be exposed to our network of stakeholders through talks and workshops that they will be leveraging to raise awareness and promote FinTech in their respective universities.

A wealth of exciting opportunities for well-motivated candidates will be offered if they can demonstrate an ongoing interest in understanding the FinTech sector and pursuing it as part of their career
