Vesti, a leading African fintech company empowering migration and financial access for Africans, hosted the Prosper Conference 2025 under the theme “From Déjà Vu to Vuja Dé: Charting a New Course for Africa’s Tech and Enterprise Future.” The event brought together visionary leaders, founders, investors, and policymakers to explore innovative pathways for sustainable growth across the continent’s rapidly evolving digital economy.
Held in Lagos, the conference served as a melting pot of ideas and strategic dialogue, focusing on how African entrepreneurs can move beyond repeated economic challenges (“déjà vu”) and embrace fresh thinking (“vuja dé”) to create transformative opportunities. Discussions spanned key topics including fintech innovation, startup funding, migration tech, artificial intelligence, and the future of work in Africa’s knowledge-driven economy.
Vesti’s CEO and co-founder, Olusola Amusan, emphasized that the 2025 Prosper Conference represents a turning point in Africa’s approach to technology and enterprise. “We’re moving from the old cycles of dependence and limitation to a new era defined by creativity, self-determination, and global competitiveness. ‘Vuja dé’ challenges us to see Africa’s potential through new eyes — and act on it,” he said.
The event featured an impressive lineup of speakers, including investors, tech executives, and thought leaders from across Africa, Europe, and North America. Panels explored themes such as “Building Borderless Businesses,” “The Future of Fintech Infrastructure,” and “Harnessing Youth Innovation for Economic Resilience.” Participants also shared success stories of African startups that have scaled globally, showcasing the continent’s growing role in the international tech landscape.
A highlight of the conference was the Vesti Prosper Innovation Showcase, where emerging founders pitched cutting-edge solutions addressing challenges in finance, education, and mobility. The showcase underscored the creativity and ambition driving Africa’s next generation of tech leaders.
As the conference concluded, Vesti reaffirmed its commitment to fostering prosperity through digital inclusion, cross-border collaboration, and entrepreneurship. The Prosper Conference 2025 not only inspired new perspectives but also laid the foundation for a bold, reimagined African enterprise future — one defined by innovation, resilience, and global impact.
