For Investors
Africa's creative economy is a US$60B+ market. We are how you allocate to it.
IFFAC is a US$150M patient-capital platform, the first institutional vehicle purpose-built for Africa's cultural and creative industries. Managed by Annan Capital Partners, backed by sovereign investors, DFIs, and strategic family offices.
The Thesis
The continent's most powerful export has always been its culture.
Africa's cultural and creative industries generate an estimated US$60B annually, support millions of livelihoods, and reach global audiences, yet receive a fraction of formal capital relative to their economic contribution.
IFFAC exists to close that gap: deploying patient capital across 16 creative sub-sectors through a three-stage model with technical assistance built in at every phase.
