21st Global Microfinance & Financial Inclusion Summit

After two decades under the name Global Microfinance Forum, we’ve expanded our scope to reflect where the industry is truly headed. The new name captures our evolving mission: moving beyond access and credit toward full-spectrum financial inclusion that promotes resilience, dignity, and long-term impact. Today, financial inclusion must adapt to conflict zones, climate change, digital exclusion, and a rapidly growing informal economy. This year’s agenda brings these realities to the forefront, with sessions focused on practical innovation and cross-sector collaboration. By bringing together practitioners, donors, investors, fintechs, and policymakers, this forum offers more than discussion — it’s a platform for real solutions in complex environments. Whether through tailored lending models, embedded insurance, or integrated e-commerce partnerships, the focus is on building inclusive systems that serve real people in real-world conditions .
