Over the past four months, especially, the interest in the creative industries across Africa, in the UK, has increased hugely. Creatives, governments and businesses are really noticing the impact and popularity of African film, music and fashion, and now due to “Fela! The Musical,” commercial theatre as well.
More than ever, inquiries from creative businesses wanting to know how to realize their products and services in Africa continue to rise.
Because of this need and interest, Black International 3 is producing an information session to give people a better understanding of the opportunities, misconceptions and solutions to ‘Doing Business in Africa.’
Ladybrille UK readers, if you will be in London, UK, it might be an event worth checking out. See details below.
