Nigerian singer Yemi Alade is billed to lead other celebrities to the Creative Africa Nexus Weekend 2022 event in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, later this month.
In a statement sent to Merrymakers, the African Export-Import Bank, sponsoring the event, noted that anyone from Africa and the Diaspora interested in being part of the rapidly expanding African creative and cultural industry can register for the event.
The statement added that the event is a three-day gathering of creatives, investors, industry leaders, businesses, and government representatives, from across Africa and the Diaspora leading up to the next CANEX Summit. It added, “The aim is to create business-to-business and business-to-government networking and deal-making opportunities.
“This will be another important step in Afreximbank’s continued roll-out and implementation of its CANEX programme, a multi-faceted intervention to support and develop Africa’s emerging creatives sector.”
It added that the event will allow participants to hear and learn from some of the leading voices from Africa and beyond in music, film, fashion, crafts, visual arts, literature, and gaming.
Participants will also have the opportunity to exhibit fashion, and art and crafts in a dynamic marketplace, connect with potential partners, participate in panel discussions and master classes, and leverage a range of other networking opportunities.
