FlashChange to Host International Women’s Day Webinar
FlashChange, Africa’s rapidly emerging digital asset management and cross-border payment platform, has announced plans to host a virtual webinar in celebration of International Women’s Day (IWD) 2026. Under the theme “Investing in Women, Investing in Growth,” the webinar will highlight the economic significance of empowering women and promoting financial inclusion across Africa.
Scheduled for 7th March 2026, the event will bring together female leaders, entrepreneurs, finance professionals, and digital innovators to discuss how targeted investment in women—through access to capital, technology, mentorship, and networks—can unlock sustainable growth for businesses, communities, and the wider economy.
Ahead of the event, the Chief Communications Officer, FlashChange, Ememobong Udofot, stated: “The theme reflects both a moral imperative and a strategic economic decision. ‘When women are equipped with the right financial tools and opportunities, they do not just transform their own lives they multiply impact across families, enterprises, and nations. At FlashChange, we believe financial access is not a privilege; it is infrastructure for growth.’”
The webinar will feature panel discussions centred on three key topics: closing the gender financing gap, leveraging fintech for inclusive growth, and building resilient women-led enterprises in emerging markets. Speakers will provide practical insights on navigating funding landscapes, embracing digital finance tools, and positioning women-owned businesses for scale in a rapidly changing global economy.
According to international development organisations, women remain disproportionately excluded from formal financial systems, despite operating a significant proportion of small and medium-sized enterprises. In Nigeria and across Africa, barriers to credit, digital payment solutions, and investment networks continue to hinder women’s economic progress. FlashChange’s IWD initiative aims to address this disparity by creating a knowledge-sharing platform that encourages action and collaboration.
As a fintech company committed to trust, transparency, and accessibility, FlashChange continues to champion financial empowerment through innovative solutions that simplify digital transactions for individuals and businesses. The IWD webinar is part of the organisation’s broader commitment to inclusive growth and responsible corporate citizenship.
The event will be open to entrepreneurs, students, professionals, and anyone passionate about advancing women’s economic participation. Participants will also have the chance to engage in live Q&A sessions and networking opportunities designed to foster collaboration beyond the webinar.
