They made the call at the 2024 edition of the Africa Creative Market (ACM), held in partnership with Ascend Studios Foundation, U.S. Consulate General, American Business Council, Venture Garden Group, and Paramount Africa. The forum brought together key players from across the continent’s creative industries, including film, music, fashion, and digital arts, to discuss avenues for long-term development.

Convener of the Africa Creative Market, Dr. Inya Lawal, remarked, “ACM 2024 has reaffirmed our mission to empower African creatives and foster sustainable growth in the continent’s creative economy. As we conclude this year’s event, we are reminded of Africa’s immense creative potential and the importance of nurturing talent, promoting cultural exchange, and driving innovation.”

Key highlights of the event include Fashion Day served as a cornerstone of the event, featuring a conference, runway show, and awards ceremony curated by FashionEVO. This gathering celebrated the work of African designers and innovators, showcasing collections from renowned names such as Joseph Ejiro, Gbenga Artsmith, and Kola Kuddus, who seamlessly blended traditional African aesthetics with contemporary design.

Another significant event was the inaugural Global Creative Legal Summit (GCLS) marked a key moment for the legal and creative sectors.
