Pineapple on Pizza and Space Salad Studios have been selected into the incubation programme of Création Africa. The South African studios beat off stiff competition from over 400 applicants to land their respective spots in the programme.

The finalists will now embark on a five-month incubation journey designed to empower them and take their creative ventures to the next level – with their partners UVU Africa and Bpifrance.

This includes not only strategic guidance and tailored training but also invaluable exposure and networking opportunities with French and international CCI experts and investors, as well as financial grants.

Création Africa is a groundbreaking initiative by the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs, coordinated by the Embassy of France and the French Institute of South Africa (IFAS). It aims to boost and support entrepreneurship in the cultural and creative industries in South Africa, Lesotho and Malawi.
