From March 17 to 21, 2025, Cotonou (Benin) welcomed Afrique Créative and its dynamic group of entrepreneurs for a week rich in learning, exchange and cultural immersion.
The 15 AC entrepreneurs, along with their 10 incubators, gathered for this second bootcamp focused on scaling up and fundraising. The first three days were dedicated to in-depth training on impact and investment readiness. The rest of the program focused on peer-to-peer exchanges, inspiring feedback, and meetings with local CCI stakeholders.
A real landmark in the programme, the bootcamp strengthened ties, reinforced community spirit and further anchored participants' commitment to developing CCIs in Africa.

The bootcamp in Benin was a profound experience combining capacity building, strategic networking, and cultural immersion. It allowed me to better understand my business and optimize it for fundraising, as well as to gain a greater appreciation for the work of other entrepreneurs and the magnificent culture of Benin.
The knowledge I gained (during the bootcamp) is incredibly practical. Every session has been valuable, and I'm already sharing these learnings with my teams. It's helped us become more structured and intentional in our fundraising work.
As an English speaker, the bootcamp in Benin opened my eyes to the French-speaking world. You can't talk about building a truly pan-African company without involving West Africa and French-speaking countries.
