The Future Fintech Champions Programme (FFC), a flagship initiative of the Mauritius Africa Fintech Hub (MAFH) and proudly sponsored by MCB Group, has won the Excellence in Capacity Building & Talent Development Award at the Alliance of Digital Finance and Fintech Associations DFA Awards!

 

This recognition highlights our dedication to nurturing future leaders and equipping young talent with the skills, knowledge, and opportunities needed to excel in the fintech industry. Since its launch in 2021, the FFC has become a cornerstone for bridging the gap between academia and the real business world.

 

Students from Mauritius’s leading universities participated in this transformative programme. Through hands-on projects, workshops, networking sessions, and industry exposure, they gained invaluable insights into cutting-edge fintech trends and challenges.

These students go beyond learning—they are ambassadors for fintech innovation, raising awareness, inspiring peers, and contributing to campus and community initiatives. By honing leadership, problem-solving, and communication skills, they emerge as future-ready professionals poised to make a meaningful impact.

 

 

A heartfelt thank you again to MCB, whose unwavering support over the past three years has been instrumental in the success of the FFC Programme, and to THE HIVE workplace, which joined as an event sponsor this year, enriching the programme experience.

 

Congratulations to All Award Winners and Finalists for their remarkable achievements in advancing the global fintech industry.

Together, let’s continue to innovate, inspire, and shape a vibrant future for fintech in Mauritius and beyond!
