Africa Blockchain Festival (ABF), the continent’s leading blockchain and Web3 conference, has announced a strategic partnership with World Token Summit (WTS), a globally recognised platform for digital assets, tokenization and institutional blockchain innovation.
The collaboration will see World Token Summit 4.0 make its inaugural African appearance as part of Africa Blockchain Festival 2026, creating a unified event that will convene global investors, venture capital firms, governments, family offices, financial institutions, technology companies, startups and policymakers in Nairobi, Kenya.
The partnership represents a significant step in expanding Africa’s role within the global blockchain ecosystem while strengthening international engagement with one of the world’s fastest-growing digital asset markets.
Connecting Global Capital with African Innovation
Africa continues to lead global trends in cryptocurrency adoption, fintech innovation, digital identity and financial inclusion. At the same time, institutional interest in tokenized assets, stablecoins, blockchain infrastructure and Real-World Assets (RWAs) continues to accelerate worldwide.
By combining Africa Blockchain Festival’s extensive regional ecosystem with World Token Summit’s international institutional network, the partnership creates a stronger bridge between African innovation and global investment.
Following successful editions across the continent, including its landmark event in Kigali, Rwanda, Africa Blockchain Festival has established itself as a leading platform for blockchain dialogue in Africa.
World Token Summit joins the collaboration after building a strong reputation as an international meeting point for investors, enterprises and digital asset leaders. Its recent Dubai edition attracted more than 100 speakers alongside leading sponsors, ecosystem partners and delegates from around the world.
Together, the organisations aim to position Nairobi among the world’s leading destinations for conversations around blockchain, artificial intelligence, tokenization and digital finance.
Advancing Institutional Collaboration
The expanded event will provide a platform for high-level engagement across key industry themes, including:
- Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization
- Stablecoins and cross-border payment infrastructure
- Artificial Intelligence and emerging technologies
- Venture capital and startup investment
- Government and regulatory dialogue
- Enterprise blockchain adoption
- Digital infrastructure development
- Executive networking and investor matchmaking
The organisers say the partnership is designed to deepen collaboration between African innovators and international institutions while encouraging investment, policy engagement and long-term ecosystem growth.
“Africa Blockchain Festival was founded with a simple vision—to make Africa an indispensable part of the global blockchain conversation,” said Olubunmi Fabanwo, Convener of Africa Blockchain Festival.
“This strategic alliance with World Token Summit is a defining milestone in that journey. It strengthens our ability to attract world-class investors, institutions, innovators and policymakers while positioning Africa Blockchain Festival as the continent’s gateway to global opportunities in Web3, digital assets, artificial intelligence and tokenization.”
Ahmed Refaie, Founder of DSRPTD.net and World Token Summit, added:
“World Token Summit was created to connect the world’s leading investors, institutions and innovators shaping the future of digital assets. Africa has become one of the most exciting blockchain markets globally, and Africa Blockchain Festival has established itself as the continent’s flagship platform. This partnership enables us to bring our international ecosystem into Africa while creating new pathways for investment, collaboration and long-term growth across the continent.”
