It’s time African creators captured the true financial value of their global influence.” The CANEX Create-thon competition will be open to amateur, emerging and established creators across Africa. We want to help African creators move from inspiration to execution and from experimentation to products that can reach audiences, attract partners and create commercial value.” CANEX Create-thon forms part of Afreximbank’s goal to develop and commercialise Africa’s creative and cultural industries. It will also establish a replicable model for identifying creative-technology talent and supporting the development of commercially relevant African creative products.
