Starting a Business, Innovating, and Building Organizational Structures in the Creative Industries in Guadeloupe

From April 13 to 18, 2026, MansA-Maison des Mondes Africains was in Martinique and Guadeloupe for its first initiative in the Caribbean. This trip is fully in line with MansA’s commitment to supporting contemporary creation by fostering connections and exchanges among artists, researchers, and cultural actors from—or with ties to—the DROM-COM regions.

Titled “Entrepreneurship, Innovation, and Organizational Development in the Cultural and Creative Industries in Guadeloupe,” this conference brought together professionals from the cultural sector to discuss the challenges of organizational development in the region’s cultural and creative industries: access to funding, regional and international cooperation, and the building of professional networks.

– Joëlle Fifi (Arts au Pluriailes)
