Vincens Edouard Ndiaye is a pan-African strategist specialising in financial infrastructure and the digital economy. With nearly two decades of experience in structured finance, project development and institutional partnerships, he helps transform complex public-sector challenges into operational, measurable and economically sustainable solutions.

As Group Chief Strategy & Institutional Partnerships Officer at Polytechs Global, he leads the Group’s expansion strategy and develops high-level collaborations with governments, regulators, central banks and financial institutions across Africa.

His work sits at the intersection of GovTech, RegTech, financial intelligence and digital-economy transformation, covering transaction monitoring, digital-flow traceability, regulatory compliance, fraud prevention, public-revenue protection, payment interoperability, digital identity and financial inclusion.

At AFIS 2026, Vincent brings a clear operational conviction: meaningful engagement between fintechs and central banks requires more than dialogue. It requires shared digital and regulatory infrastructure, trusted data and measurable governance.
