Launched on 1 July, the Création Africa platform offers a wide range of resources, systems, and tools designed to support creative collaborations between France and the African continent.
Developed by the Institut Français for MansA, with support from the Fonds Équipe France Création, Création Africa provides a suite of complementary services. These include a geo-located directory to foster exchanges between peers, a one-stop hub bringing together calls for projects, funding, training programs and incubators supported by Équipe France operators (Institut Français, cultural network, AFD, Expertise France, BPI France, other cultural operators, private partners, etc.), and a resource portal featuring online courses, webinars, specialized content, and a professional calendar.
Created in consultation with sector professionals, the platform is accessible from 1 July and supports professionals at every stage of project development. It helps them enhance their skills and promote their initiatives, which can then be shared within the community. The platform will be officially presented during the second Création Africa Forum, taking place from 16 to 18 October 2025 in Lagos.
Registration is open to a wide variety of professionals, including artists, technicians, managers, producers, cultural entrepreneurs, association leaders, and organization directors. Visit https://www.creationafrica.com/
