The event is structured around four key pillars: * MIP Africa drives film, television, and digital content deals * Muziki Africa focuses on the music industry and live exchange * African Fashion Forum links fashion with media and culture * FAME Shorts Film Festival highlights emerging and established storytellers This year introduces a strategic spotlight on France, opening direct channels for co-production, funding, and distribution between African and European markets.
