Flagship Work and Differentiation
We are distinguished by our ability to combine original thinking, applied frameworks, and ecosystem-level delivery. Our flagship bodies of work demonstrate how we translate long-term vision into practical systems for implementation and scale.
TheMoonshot 8
A Systems Framework for
Africa's Creative Economy
Moonshot 8 is a foundational body of work articulating a long-term, systems-oriented vision for Africa’s creative economy.
The framework identifies the core cornerstones required for a functioning creative economy and defines the enabling conditions needed to activate them. It is resolution-driven and implementation-aware, providing a structured basis for policy design, ecosystem development, and coordinated action over the long term. Moonshot 8 has informed our subsequent frameworks, advisory engagements, and platform initiatives.
Ecosystem Pathways
Frameworks
Building on Moonshot 8, our Ecosystem Pathways paper translates creative economy ambition into structured frameworks for operationalization.
Co-created with key stakeholders, the paper outlines practical pathways for integrating cultural and creative industries into trade and market systems, establishing effective governance and institutional arrangements, strengthening intellectual property and copyright systems, and aligning policy, institutions, and investment for ecosystem growth. These frameworks are designed as applied tools for governments, institutions, and development partners responsible for implementation.
Annual Gathering
We design and deliver the Africa Creative Economy Lens (ACEL) as our flagship convening and alignment platform.
Through the ACEL Annual Gathering, we bring together policymakers, development partners, investors, and ecosystem leaders to align priorities, co-create solutions, and advance coordinated action across the creative economy.
The platform serves as a bridge between policy, capital, and delivery, reinforcing our role as a trusted ecosystem convener and strategic partner.
