The Africa Creative Blueprint (ACB), a new initiative introduced by Nigerian venture capital firm Venture Garden Group (VGG) in partnership with Ascend Studios and USAID , is designed to empower women and youth in Nigeria’s dynamic creative industry. The program provides essential resources, skill development, and innovative training to support their growth and success.
The Africa Creative Blueprint is set to support Nigerian creatives in expanding their reach globally while equipping young individuals with the necessary tools and resources to thrive in the creative industry.
The initiative offers hands-on, impactful training designed to elevate Africa’s creative economy. Upon completion, 200 trained individuals will contribute to the production of a 13-episode television drama, creating over 200 full-time and part-time employment opportunities throughout the process.
Bunmi Akinyemiju, CEO and co-founder of Venture Garden Group, commented, “We remain dedicated to nurturing Africa’s abundant talent. This partnership marks a significant step for Nigeria’s creative industry and offers Venture Garden Group the chance to make a global impact. Through this initiative, we are laying the groundwork for cultivating world-class creative professionals who can revolutionize the sector.”
In collaboration with partners such as Paramount Nigeria and renowned music executive Ralph Simon, the partnership aims to attract additional investment to bolster Nigeria’s growing Nollywood industry.
