Ghana is set to become the continent\u2019s cultural meeting point this December as Entertainment Week Ghana makes its debut.<\/p>\n

The week-long festival runs from December 21 to 27, 2025, and promises a packed programme of summits, screenings, concerts, art and fashion that aim to move conversations about Africa\u2019s creative economy from aspiration to action.<\/p>\n

At the heart of the programme is the Entertainment Week Ghana Thought Leadership Summit on December 24 at the Accra International Conference Centre.<\/p>\n

The Thought Leadership Summit<\/strong><\/p>\n

The summit will bring together policymakers, investors, creators and industry experts to tackle the business of culture from financing and intellectual property to media technology and cultural policy.<\/p>\n

A live Deal Room will give startups and creators the chance to pitch directly to investors and accelerators, while the Novas Awards will be introduced as a platform to celebrate creative excellence and will be rolled out fully at future editions.<\/p>\n

Film Festival<\/strong><\/p>\n

Film takes centre stage through a curated festival produced in partnership with Idris Elba\u2019s global media firm Akuna Pod and Bravado.<\/p>\n

The festival will feature premieres, screenings and conversations designed to spotlight African and diaspora storytelling and grow the industry\u2019s profile on the global stage.<\/p>\n

Akuna Pod\u2019s recent activity on the continent underlines the company\u2019s growing engagement with Ghana\u2019s screen sector.<\/p>\n

Music Festival<\/strong><\/p>\n

Music arrives with Airwaves, a beachside festival powered by Lynx Entertainment. Airwaves will showcase headline sets, DJ performances and producer showcases on Accra\u2019s shoreline as part of the city\u2019s wider Detty December celebrations.<\/p>\n

The festival partner has already signalled programming and production support that aims to make Airwaves a marquee December event.<\/p>\n

Photo & Art Exhibition<\/strong><\/p>\n

Visual artists and photographers open the week at Osu Castle with Mununkum, a photo and art exhibition exploring evolving African identities through visual storytelling.<\/p>\n

Fashion Event<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fashion will get a sustainability focus at Atale, a runway event championing circular design and eco-conscious labels, with established Ghanaian brands expected to participate.<\/p>\n

Together these events signal an intention to showcase a full spectrum of creative disciplines and their commercial potential.<\/p>\n

Entertainment Week Ghana arrives with strong institutional backing and corporate support.<\/p>\n

Konica Minolta has been announced as the headline sponsor, while strategic partners include Akuna Pod, Ashesi University, Bravado and Lynx Entertainment.<\/p>\n

The festival also lists endorsements from the Black Star Experience, the Diaspora Affairs Office of the President, the National Film Authority and the Ministry of Youth Empowerment and Development.<\/p>\n

The organisers say the week is designed to unlock investment, mentorship and infrastructure that can scale creative businesses across the continent.<\/p>\n

With the global cultural economy valued in the trillions and Africa\u2019s creative sector drawing increasing investor interest, Entertainment Week Ghana aims to turn conversation into capital.<\/p>\n

For creatives, entrepreneurs and investors looking to connect in Accra this December, the event offers panels, pitch rooms, screenings and festivals that are designed to convert talent into sustainable business.<\/p>\n
