About
Where the Business of Africa’s Creator Economy Leads the Future
Ndoto Imara Creative Week is a transformative week designed to accelerate the growth of East Africa’s creative economy. Hosted in Nairobi, Kenya, the week brings together creators, investors, policymakers, and global brands to unlock new pathways for collaboration, financing, and innovation across film, music, fashion, gaming, art, and technology.
Rooted in the Swahili phrase “Ndoto Imara” meaning “Resilient Dreams,” this flagship experience reflects East Africa’s unstoppable creative energy and economic potential. Over six days of conferences, masterclasses, and cultural immersions, Ndoto Imara breaks down silos by connecting East Africa’s creative brilliance with the global diaspora and international markets.
