ACM was conceived to facilitate value exchange between Africa’s creative sector and the world with a mission to empower Creatives to scale, by providing the blueprint for establishing commercially viable and sustainable business models. This is facilitated through several initiatives that will give exposure to the global creative market, access to funding, and increase creative export and standards.

The Africa Creative Market was so
much more than I ever expected! Not
only were they the perfect hosts, but
they showcased incredible talent and
a creative community with bursting
energy ready to emerge on the
world’s stage. And the Nigerian
people…. Wow! I’m grateful for the
opportunity to attend and can’t wait
to come again.

“Attending the Africa Creative
Market was an unforgettable
experience from the professional
and personal level. Brazil cannot be
understood without the African
enormous cultural influence that
has shaped our society and culture.
ACM created the opportunity to
expand the business and cultural
relationship between Brazil and
Africa.”

Africa Creative Market gives hope to all African creative. I watched a 16 year old with zero photography experience shoot like a pro within two days of professional photography training. ACM is a game changer!
