Overview
The CloudReady Nigeria Breakfast – Fintech Edition is an executive breakfast roundtable focused on one urgent question: How can Nigeria’s fintech ecosystem scale securely in a digital-first era?
As fintechs expand rapidly across Africa, they face a growing set of challenges – ranging from tightening data regulations to increased infrastructure costs and rising cyber threats. Despite the buzz around “cloud-native” services, the reality is more nuanced, involving complex trade-offs between global hyperscale platforms and emerging local cloud solutions.
This session gathers Nigeria’s most forward-thinking fintech and cloud leaders to share experiences, unpack risks, and co-create a more secure, compliant, and efficient cloud future for the region.
It is hosted by Africa Hyperscalers, a marketing intelligence, consulting and media platform dedicated to accelerating Africa’s digital infrastructure journey.
