Great achievements often stem from collaboration and the gathering of diverse minds. A single conversation can spark an idea, leading to powerful collaborations that birth something far greater than individual efforts. This foundational principle is precisely what makes initiatives like the Africa Creative Market (ACM) so impactful and exciting.
This year, the Africa Creative Market celebrates its fifth anniversary, marking a significant milestone in its mission. BellaNaija representatives, Esther Ordia and Collette, are preparing to travel to Lusaka, Zambia, for Africa Creative Market 2026, bringing their audience along for the journey. The 2026 event will feature a five-city global activation, culminating in a six-day flagship experience hosted in Lusaka.
At its core, ACM is a dedicated platform designed to foster the growth of Africa's creative economy. It serves as a crucial meeting point, drawing together creatives, innovators, industry leaders, and change-makers from across Africa and beyond.
