Elevating the African Creative Economy
It’s no secret that South Africa’s Creative and Cultural Industries (CCI) are a vital cog in the nation’s economy, contributing a staggering R90-billion annually. However, with Africa’s entire Creative Economy representing less than 1% of the Global CCI Economy, the expo’s focus is not just entertainment but also empowerment.
One of the spotlight speakers, Muziwethu Mtshali, renowned for his expertise in creating winning brands, will be delivering an impactful masterclass. Co-founder of the MNM Creative Agency and a dynamic force in the world of art and business, Muziwethu’s insights are a must-attend for budding entrepreneurs and established businesses alike.
