LAGOS, NIGERIA, September 12, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — Fuelarts and Story Chest are proud to announce the launch of the Africa Creative Tech Initiative, a pioneering project. This ambitious initiative is designed and aims to reshape Africa’s digital future, elevate the continent’s innovative potential, and position Africa as a key player in the global technology and creative industries.
At the heart of the Initiative is the Africa Creative Tech Pre-Acceleration Program that will offer young entrepreneurs practical knowledge, networking opportunities, and the chance to advance to further acceleration stages. This program is open to participants from all segments of the Creative Tech Industries, including Advertisement, Architecture, Design, Fashion, Film, Fine Art & Craft, Gaming, Hospitality & Events, Literature, Media, Music, Performing Arts, TV & Radio.
The Africa AI Skills Program is another key component, set to empower one million African youths over the next five years by bridging talent gaps through the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI). This program aims to prepare the continent’s workforce for the future, leveraging AI to address talent shortages and bolster the local economy.
The initiative also includes the Africa Creative Tech Fund, designed to support and nurture young creative tech entrepreneurs across Africa. Through this fund, Fuelarts and Story Chest aim to provide the financial support necessary for these innovators to thrive and contribute to the continent’s growing creative economy.
To ensure transparency and provide valuable insights, the initiative will publish Annual Africa Creative Tech Reports. These reports will document the progress of the initiative, offer key insights for stakeholders, and guide strategic decisions that align with Africa’s evolving digital and creative landscape.
As part of the Africa Creative Tech Initiative, Fuelarts and Story Chest are excited to announce a dynamic series of Africa Creative Tech Webinar Series aimed at catalyzing the growth and development of Africa’s creative and technology sectors. This series will serve as a vital first step in the broader initiative, offering a platform for dialogue, learning, and collaboration among key stakeholders in African Creative Tech.
Africa’s creative economy is poised for unprecedented growth, and the Africa Creative Tech Initiative is at the forefront of this transformation. By supporting young entrepreneurs, fostering innovation, and promoting African culture globally, Fuelarts and Story Chest are committed to making Africa a hub for creative tech excellence.
