We aim to run two tailored programs:

  • One focused on French-speaking West Africa
  • One broader program open to studios across the continent

Both programs go hand in hand, promoting cross-border collaboration and strengthening Africa’s gaming industry.

What We Are Looking For:
The selected organization should be able to:

  • Enable collaboration between African and European studios, fostering co-production opportunities.
  • Provide access to industry experts in game development, publishing, marketing, and financing.
  • Offer structured mentoring for selected studios, focusing on prototype quality, business strategy, and funding opportunities.
  • Facilitate matchmaking sessions to connect studios across borders through initiatives like the MATCH program.
  • Engage in international industry events (e.g., Gamescom, Africa Games Week) to promote the program and participants.
  • Ensure strong visibility by communicating about the program on social media throughout its duration.

This is an exciting opportunity to help shape the future of African gaming by providing high-quality mentorship and building long-term industry connections.

Interested organizations should submit their proposal by Sunday, 23.02.2025
