ZimX Finance Heads to Web Summit Alpha; Bridging Diaspora Capital and Digital Infrastructure
Fintech ecosystem founded by Emps Roy selected for the same program that launched Uber and Airbnb, signaling growing investor interest in frontier market innovation.
ZimX Finance, founded by Munashe Emperor Roy Mupoto (Emps Roy), has been selected to join the Web Summit Alpha Program, an influential launchpad that has spotlighted some of the world’s most transformative companies, including Uber, Airbnb, and Revolut.
The selection comes at a time when global investor appetite for credible fintech plays in frontier markets is accelerating. ZimX Finance positions itself at the intersection of diaspora remittances, SME finance, and transparent digital infrastructure, a combination designed to address persistent inefficiencies in traditional settlement systems.
This isn’t just about building another app, said Emps Roy. It’s about designing the underlying rails that connect diaspora capital to real economic activity, transparently, efficiently, and at scale.”
ZimX Finance’s ecosystem is anchored by a dual-token architecture ZIMX (utility/governance) and ZiGX (USDC-pegged reserve) combined with multi-sig treasury vaults and long-term on-chain financial design. Supporting products such as ZimXWallet, ZimXPay, and ZimXVault form the operational backbone, aimed at modernizing payments while maintaining verifiable reserves.
The company’s inclusion in Web Summit Alpha provides direct access to global investors, institutional partners, and media, offering a rare platform to spotlight Zimbabwe’s fintech potential within the broader digital assets landscape.
We’re showing that innovation from Zimbabwe can operate at global standards, Emps Roy added. Frontier markets aren’t just participants, they can lead.
