Walking into the Kigali Convention Centre for the Inclusive FinTech Forum 2026, I felt a deep sense of responsibility. I wasn’t just there as the Founder of Seruka Travel Tech; I was there as a student of growth, representing the African Management Institute (AMI).

For the past month, I have been immersed in AMI’s "Beyond Incubation" program. It wasn’t just about spreadsheets or business models; it was about the heart of leadership. It taught me how to escalate Seruka from a startup into a sustainable pillar of African travel infrastructure.

One of the most profound moments of the forum was being honored to attend the Masterclass led by Amon Munyaneza. His insights on strategic scaling and regional integration felt like the missing puzzle piece for Seruka’s roadmap. It was a reminder that in the world of FinTech and Travel, our greatest asset isn't our code—it's our people and our clarity of purpose.

As I reflect on the discussions at IFF 2026, I see a Rwanda that is ready to lead. At Seruka, we are taking the lessons from AMI and the inspiration from leaders like Amon to ensure that every booking we facilitate is a step toward a more connected, inclusive Africa.

We are no longer just dreaming of the future. We are building it, one milestone at a time.
