AI security innovation, automated detection and resilient financial services.
FORFIN 2026 — Fortifying Finance. The executive summit where Tanzania's banks, fintechs, insurers and regulators turn AI, zero-trust and cloud resilience into the foundation of a trusted digital economy.
FORFIN 2026 — Fortifying Finance — convenes the leaders accountable for trust across Tanzania's financial and government sectors. Building on a landmark first edition, this year turns to the defining challenge of the decade: keeping institutions resilient as AI reshapes both attack and defence.
