Creative outputs are being exported at an immense rate. To sustain this growth and ensure that the continent benefits, we must create local to global systems through creative education, investment, policy design and infrastructure development. NECLive is giving the industry a voice and a platform to table discussions that will help in sustaining the African momentum now and in the future.”
