CANEX 2022: Afreximbank doubles facility for creative industries to $1bn over 3 years

The creative Africa Nexus known as the CANEX Weekend is a strategic intervention by Afreximbank in the creative and cultural industries. The program was launched in 2020 after a careful study of the industry. With the teeming youth population in Africa, CANEX aims to structurally transform the continent away from commodities and tap into the talents of Africa’s young population, from music, movies and more.
