Creative Africa Nexus 2022
25 November 2022 - 27 November 2022
The CANEX weekend, presented by the African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) in partnership with the government of Côte d'Ivoire, will be a three-day gathering of creatives from across Africa and the diaspora. It will be held in Abidjan from 25 to 27 November 2022. The event will be a milestone in Afreximbank's implementation of the Creative Africa Nexus (CANEX) programme; a multi-faceted intervention to support and develop Africa's growing creative sector. The weekend will have a strong focus on creating opportunities for creative people to meet and network with each other, but more importantly with buyers.
It will therefore be an important gathering of creatives, potential investors, industry leaders, creative industry companies and government representatives, providing opportunities for networking and negotiation between companies and between companies and government. Creatives will also have a variety of opportunities to connect and engage with leading voices from Africa and its diaspora in music, film, fashion, craft, visual arts, literature, gaming, virtual reality, sports and more.
