Entertainment Week Africa (EWA), the continent’s premier creative summit, is powering up the next wave of African innovation with the launch of its 2025 Deal Room. This intensive accelerator is dedicated to bridging the gap between visionary talent and the capital needed to thrive. The Deal Room is a multi-day journey culminating in a high-stakes Demo Day. Founders and creatives will sharpen their business models, craft irresistible pitches, and connect directly with the investors shaping Africa’s $20 billion creative economy. Since its inception, the Deal Room has already facilitated over $1 million in investments for alumni like Esosa, a travel-tech platform serving the African diaspora, to Taghub, an AI-powered influencer marketing network, and Synewave, a revenue-sharing platform empowering music artists.
