Areas
of Impact
African creatives, including musicians, filmmakers, fashion designers, writers, and artists, are the backbone of the industry
Creative Industries & Enterprises
Africa’s creative economy is powered by young creators, artisans, and small businesses across films, music, art, fashion, gaming, and design. Ethnocentrique supports these players by enhancing productivity, efficiency, and competitiveness. We create pathways for creatives to thrive—through local workshops, regional networks, and global platforms—growing enterprises that transform communities.
Community & Local Economic Growth
Africa's creative clusters—from Aba to Accra, Kigali to Nairobi—are alive with talent. By spotlighting and strengthening these ecosystems, we turn creativity into an engine of local development, fueling industries that generate wealth, pride, and sustainable futures.
Youth, Work & Futures
We see Africa's youth as creators of tomorrow. Through apprenticeships, training, and mentorship, we open doors to dignified work and enterprise. Each skill mastered and venture launched, sparks opportunities that ripple across households, neighborhoods, and nations.
Access to Finance & Markets
We connect artisans and creative entrepreneurs to finance, investors, and markets—both local and global. By bridging innovation with access, we unlock growth and position African creativity on the world stage.
Cultural Preservation & Innovation
Ethnocentrique safeguards the authenticity of Indigenous crafts—be it textiles, leatherwork, pottery, or storytelling—while infusing them with modern design thinking and innovation. By blending tradition with creativity, we ensure Africa's cultural identity is not only preserved but thrives globally.
