Diasporan-founded travel-technology company Voya has been named the official travel and mobility partner for the 2025 Fidelity International Trade & Creative Connect (FNITCC), hosted in collaboration with AFRICON, solidifying the growing role of African-led mobility technology in global trade infrastructure.
Scheduled for September 18–20, 2025, at the Omni Atlanta Hotel in Georgia, the FINTCC–AFRICON summit is expected to convene thousands of exporters, creative entrepreneurs, policymakers, and investors from across Africa and the diaspora. Now in its third edition, the event has emerged as one of Nigeria’s most influential platforms for international market expansion and diaspora-led commerce.
Digital Mobility for a Global African Audience
Voya’s appointment reflects a broader shift toward digital, compliance-focused mobility systems — particularly for emerging-market passport holders navigating high-friction visa and travel processes.
Founded by Anita Itaman, Voya has developed what analysts describe as the only digital tool currently capable of delivering automated visa workflows, document-verification APIs, and cross-border logistics coordination at scale for African travelers and institutions.
Industry observers note that these capabilities — pairing technology with high-touch operational execution — were central to Voya’s selection for the high-volume, multi-country delegations expected in Atlanta.
Strengthening the Backbone of Africa’s Trade Missions
Powered by Fidelity Bank Plc, FINTCC has facilitated multi-million-dollar export agreements and international partnerships across previous editions in London and Houston. Its collaboration with AFRICON expands the summit’s reach into cultural and diaspora markets, particularly for SMEs and creative enterprises seeking structured global entry points.
With thousands of attendees anticipated, organizers say the mobility function required a partner that could manage visa flows, documentation compliance, airport protocol, and secure transport with the level of precision expected at international summits.
Why Voya Was Selected
According to individuals involved in the selection process, several elements distinguished Voya:
- Automated visa processing including AI-driven document checks tailored for emerging-market passports.
- Digital identity and document verification APIs used by governments, banks, corporates, universities, and event organizers.
- Enterprise mobility infrastructure designed specifically for large, multi-country delegations.
- End-to-end private-client logistics, including airport fast-track, protocol arrangements, secure ground transportation, and VIP movement coordination.
Analysts say Voya remains the only tool in the market currently offering this depth of visa-tech plus logistics integration for African institutions and international delegations.
Raising the Standard for Delegation Travel
With participants expected from more than 20 countries, the 2025 FINTCC–AFRICON summit will serve as a proving ground for Africa’s next generation of mobility technology. Improvements in document accuracy, real-time compliance, and coordinated movement are among the key outcomes stakeholders will be watching.
For many, the partnership signals a maturing technology ecosystem — one where African-founded, diaspora-led companies are increasingly building and exporting global-standard operational systems, reshaping how the continent engages with international trade.
