The Remittances, Business Models and Technology Fair served as a networking exercise in order to promote partnerships and worldwide cross-learning experiences in the field of remittances, and will provide an opportunity for participants to become aware of business-technology approaches that can best reduce transaction costs, create profitable business models, deliver additional value to users, and indicate means of maximizing the benefits of remittances by linking them to other financial services.

The Fair showcased new business models, tools and technologies for remittances and banking to a high-level audience of government officials, commercial bankers, industry representatives, and development workers from all over the African continent and the world. The Fair took place in the main atrium of the Forum.
