After a successful first iteration in 2024, Création Africa South Africa, Lesotho and Malawi is back to support and scale up cultural entrepreneurs in South Africa, Lesotho and Malawi. As part of this project, we are looking for an incubator (or consortium of entities that jointly meet the selection criteria) to support, train, and coach selected cultural entrepreneurs in their innovation and development journeys through an incubation and coaching programme.
The programme will run from November 2025 to October 2026, starting with the selection of 50 entrepreneurs, followed by a coaching phase from February to March 2026, and an incubation phase from April to October 2026 for the 15 selected cultural entrepreneurs.
Key dates:
- Launch of the call for proposals from incubators (7 August 2025)
- Submission deadline for proposals from incubators (7 September 2025)
