Africa Creative Economy Summit [SOFT LAUNCH]

​On Wednesday the 10th of April, 2013 and with overwhelming support from creative professionals, a creative industries investment summit was launched with over 100 attendees and several hundred more streaming live online.

​Building on that experience we are connecting the dots with inspiring partners, renewed vision, and bold stakeholders, to manifest a brand new Africa Creative Economy Summit from 14th to 16th November 2024. This summit offers a unique platform for investors, artists, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders to participate in interactive workshops, explore the latest trends, strategies, and opportunities shaping Africa's cultural landscape.

​As a taster for November, we have a soft launch in August where you will engage in thought-provoking discussions, and network with peers who are identifying market-fitting financing and investment structures for the creative and cultural industries in Africa. More information about the upcoming summit can be found in this deck here.  

​Join us at the soft launch to tap into the vibrant spirit of Africa's creative sectors right here in the heart of London. Immerse yourself in a dynamic environment designed to demystify investments, highlight business models, foster connections, share knowledge, and unlock capital across the continent's flourishing creative industries.
