Digital Assets Summit Africa (DASA), is one of Africa’s most visionary leaders in technology, policy, and finance to harness the transformative power of blockchain, cryptocurrency, and decentralized systems. DASA has served as a platform where innovators, regulators, and investors collaborate to accelerate Africa’s transition toward an inclusive digital economy — turning policy into prosperity.
The organizers of Digital Assets Summit Africa are gearing up for a second edition scheduled for 29 – 30th of September 2026, promising a larger platform for startups, investors, regulators and policymakers under the theme “From Policy to Prosperity: Scaling Digital Assets for Jobs, Investment and Economic Growth.”
Speaking at a press briefing on Thursday, December 4, the convenor of Digital Assets Summit Africa, Mr. Peter Frimpong-Manso recalled the first forum held in September 2025 at the Kofi Annan Institute. “The first event was a learning curve,” he said. “We funded it from our own pockets, but the response was overwhelming.” The September 2025 edition attracted interest from across the country and sparked partnerships with academic institutions, including the University of Cape Coast’s School of Business, which will co‑offer certification courses in digital assets.
The upcoming 2026 forum will build on that momentum. “We are moving from a modest gathering to a full‑scale conference at the Kempinski Hotel,” Mr. Frimpong-Manso announced. “Our aim is to showcase how digital assets can create jobs, open investment pathways and provide a clear regulatory framework.”
Key objectives for the 2026 edition are:
- Showcase job‑creating potential of emerging digital‑asset ventures.
- Highlight investment opportunities for local and international financiers.
- Provide a platform for regulators to outline the legal and tax framework being developed in Ghana.
He appealed to potential sponsors and partners to come on board early. “We are still seeking financial and logistical support,” he said, adding that early commitment would help the team secure venues, speakers and promotional channels. A dedicated website launched two weeks ago already shows a strong surge of volunteer registrations, indicating growing public interest.
The event will also feature a short presentation followed by a Q&A session. Partners already confirmed include the University of Cape Coast, the Ghana Association of Banks and several private‑sector firms that have pledged in‑kind contributions.
With the September 2026 forum still months away, the organisers are confident that, unlike the self‑funded inaugural edition, broader sponsorship and media coverage will allow the event to reach “every nook and crony of Ghana and beyond.”
The Digital Assets Forum aims to position Ghana as a regional leader in the digital‑economy space, mirroring developments in the United States, United Kingdom and other advanced economies where clear regulations have unlocked significant tax revenues and public awareness.
