ASENTI acknowledges the transformative power of creativity and innovation in driving human development and in unlocking opportunities especially for Africa.
The creative economy is one of the world’s fastest growing sectors, creating employment for millions of people globally. Yet Africa’s share of the global creative economy is still low.
Africa has a potential for growth, driven immensely by the growing youth population and urbanization. However, the sector faces significant challenges, including inadequate infrastructure, limited access to funding and markets, intellectual properties and lack of supportive policies and regulations.
ASENTI is therefore a platform that seeks to create such opportunities to deliberate and generate innovative solutions that are practical to the African demographic.
