Africa Creative Market (ACM) is set to return for its fourth edition from September 16 to 19, 2025, at the Landmark Event Centre in Lagos, with a renewed focus on linking African creatives to global markets.
Under the theme 'Creative Bridge,' the 2025 event aims to bridge the gap between talent and trade, equipping African creatives with tools, funding, and networks to scale their ideas internationally.
The event will bring together stakeholders from diverse sectors — film, fashion, music, tech, gaming, art, dance, and more — to explore export readiness, data-driven strategies, and investment opportunities.

With activities such as masterclasses, investor roundtables, and international showcases, ACM 2025 will serve as a launchpad for entrepreneurs, small businesses, and innovators looking to expand into international markets.
The event is expected to draw investors, buyers, and collaborators from countries like the US, UK, Canada, UAE, and South Korea, making it a key platform for African SMEs in the creative industry to scale globally.
