About AFEE

Africa Film & Entertainment Expo

It brings together content creators, investors, distributors, technology innovators, and industry stakeholders to foster business collaboration, industry insight, and global partnerships.

AFEE is built to create a unified platform for African content — one that strengthens the value chain, opens access to new markets, and positions the continent’s creative industries for long-term growth.

Why Now?

From Momentum to Market Opportunity

Africa’s creative economy is moving from momentum to market opportunity, and AFEE is being built for exactly that shift. The film and audiovisual sector already supports an estimated 5 million jobs and contributes around US$5 billion to GDP, with the potential to grow far further if stronger market structures, financing pathways, and distribution systems are put in place.

Morocco strengthens that opportunity as a host market. The Moroccan Cinematographic Centre offers an official 30% reimbursement for eligible foreign productions, while the country’s Digital Morocco 2030 strategy aims to create 240,000 direct jobs and position the Kingdom as a digital hub.

In 2024, Morocco launched the first Morocco Gaming Expo, signaling broad creative industry momentum. AFEE can build on that energy while keeping African film at the centre of its identity.

A market ready to grow

Africa’s entertainment ecosystem is expanding fast, driven by digital consumption, mobile access, youthful audiences, and rising demand for authentic storytelling.

A platform built for access

Creators still face barriers in funding, visibility, distribution, training, and cross-border collaboration. AFEE creates structured pathways to solve that.

A global stage for new talent

Africa has the creative energy, the audience, and the next generation of talent. AFEE provides the platform to showcase that talent to the world with purpose, credibility, and commercial opportunity.
