From African Stories to Playable Worlds.

​From African Stories to Playable Worlds explores how African history, mythology, folklore, culture, and contemporary experiences can be transformed into compelling gaming experiences and valuable intellectual property.

​The session will examine Africa’s evolving gaming ecosystem, from the realities and challenges of building local game studios to the opportunities for creating globally competitive games. We will also explore the role of technology, investment, talent, and IP ownership in building a stronger and more sustainable African gaming industry.

​The conversation will bring together perspectives on what it takes to move African gaming from promising ideas to commercially viable, globally relevant experiences, and how creators and developers can build, protect, and retain ownership of the intellectual property they create.

​Whether you are a game developer, creative, entrepreneur, investor, publisher, or simply interested in the future of African gaming, this session offers an opportunity to learn, connect, and contribute to the conversation.

​The session will be held virtually, bringing together creators, developers, entrepreneurs, investors, and other stakeholders from across Africa and beyond.
