CREATIVE COMMUNITY

Creativity and innovation is at the heart of the world's future.

Creativity and innovation is at the heart of the world’s future. People are not just drawn to high fashion, they are now more drawn to the how it was manufactured — was it produced in eco- and labour-friendly environments? Energy fuels homes and industries, but more important to people now is, to what percentage is it contributing to global warming? The future of agriculture, food, architecture and spaces, health, employment and job creation, and fashion hangs on countries identifying the need to deepen investment in alternate and creative ways that explore human-centered solutions. It is our hope that all African creatives and relevant stakeholders will share in and contribute to this vision of better positioning the Creatonomy to drive the world’s future.

Twenty years later, the concept of the ‘creative industries’, and their importance, is recognised by almost every government in the world and is beginning to give way to a much more inclusive idea of a wider ‘creative economy’.
