This conversation with Tosin Adelowo (Chekkit) was recorded at the AfricArena West African Summit in June 2021, held at The Raddison Sea Plaza hotel in Dakar. Throughout the conference, I chatted to as many stakeholders as possible to share with you as much insight on what’s happening on the ground in this exciting tech ecosystem. So be sure to check out all the micro episodes from this West African Summit Series, following this one, you can understand the perspectives and ideas coming out of this exciting region. Massive thanks to our partners' DER, La Délégation générale à l'Entreprenariat Rapide, The International Trade Centre, Thé French Embassy in Senegal, Amazon Web Services, Orange Ventures, and our greater partner network for making this summit happen. If it wasn’t for all of you, we wouldn’t be here today. Right now that’s out the way, let’s get stuck in shall we.
