Excerpt from The Sociable
A new paradigm of finance is being introduced to Africa. The Africa Digital Assets Summit (ADAS) will make its debut at the Catholic University of East Africa (CUEA) in Nairobi from the 29-30 of April 2026.
Convened under the theme Ethical Stewardship for the Love of the Poor, the Summit will bring together over a thousand participants, including policymakers, faith leaders, technologists, investors, and civil society actors, to tackle one of the most pressing questions of our time: how can digital innovation serve humanity? Informed by Dilexi Te, Pope Leo XIV Apostolic Exhortation on the Love of the Poor, and in the context of the Holy Father’s declaration of 2026 as the Year of St. Francis, the event presents a moment to reflect on the finance industry’s duty to uphold justice, dignity, and moral responsibility in a fast-changing world.
