Why an Innovation Fair?
The Fair aims to present innovative tools and services that can improve the performance of MFIs interested in undertaking a strategic expansion to target increasingly sophisticated customer segments such as SMEs.

For the exhibitors, the Fair will represent a tremendous opportunity to meet new clients and partners.
