The FinTech Association of Nigeria has unveiled The Start-Up Marketplace – a platform designed to provide start-ups with the necessary support to thrive.
This scheme would be supporting start-ups in the fintech ecosystem with access to free and heavily discounted services in funding, legal, infrastructure, cybersecurity, data privacy, business development, and a variety of other areas, to accelerate their growth.
Making the announcement at the association’s first conference of the year, tagged ‘Fintech Outlook 2022’, President, FinTechNGR and the Executive Director, Information Technology and Operations at Access Bank Plc, Ade Bajomo, affirmed that, “The Start-Up Marketplace will aid in the development and deepening of Nigeria’s FinTech talent pool.
The platform will also encourage research and development to get innovators and start-ups on a higher plane, foster an environment of supportive regulation to grow the industry, facilitate local investors to participate in the funding of FinTechs and position local start-ups and innovators to build and develop durable and strategic intellectual properties.”
