ACM 2025 (Africa Creative Market) returns for its fourth edition from September 16 to 19, 2025, at the Landmark Event Centre in Lagos, Nigeria. This year’s theme, “Creative Bridge,” reflects a bold mission to connect African creatives with global opportunities through market access, investment, and innovation.
Organized by the Ascend Studios Foundation, ACM has become a leading pan-African platform for the creative economy, uniting professionals across film, fashion, music, technology, gaming, visual arts, photography, dance, and sports. With its multi-sectoral approach, ACM 2025 aims to scale African creativity into global markets.
Building on the success of ACM 2024, which explored the role of technology in accelerating Africa’s creative potential, this year’s edition will deepen conversations on funding, digital transformation, and export readiness. Expect keynote panels, masterclasses, investment roundtables, and interactive showcases designed to spark collaboration and economic growth.
“Creative Bridge is not just a theme—it’s a strategy to unlock Africa’s creative future,” said Dr. Inya Lawal, Convener of Africa Creative Market. “We are deliberately bridging the gap between talent and trade, ensuring African creatives are equipped for success in a globalized world.”
