We are Enterprise Creative, a social enterprise passionate about the entrepreneurship and committed to helping aspiring, emerging and growing entrepreneurs to build sustainable businesses in Africa.

Our founding mission was to build the professional and business capacity of entrepreneurs and practitioners in the creative and digital industries. In so doing we have trained more than 1500 people in our popular Freelance Friday training clinics; held dozens of workshops, seminars and networking events; produced major conferences both under our own brand (Forum for Financing Creative Business; Creative Careers Fair) and for other organizations (British Council Creative Industries Expo; UK100 Summit). We have offered free advice clinics and legal clinics to entrepreneurs looking for answers and we launched the HotHouse, Nigeria’s first co-working space for creative and digital entrepreneurs, providing them with physical infrastructure, capacity building programs and a collaborative working environment.

Going forward, we are repositioning Enterprise Creative as the platform for entrepreneurs. As such, we have broadened our mandate to shift beyond the creative industries, because we believe that all enterprise is inherently creative and that creativity is a critical ingredient for business success. Ije Nwokorie, MD of top UK design firm Wolff-Olins summed this up best as “the more creative we are, the more entrepreneurial we are, the more commercial we are.”

The Enterprise Creative platform will encompass our website, newsletters, videos, training courses, networking events, publications and coworking spaces.

We have relaunched our website to become the leading online destination for entrepreneurship in Nigeria, delivering articles, strategies, tools and information to help you start, run and grow a business. Our content is practical, actionable and inspirational. We will also celebrate entrepreneurs, of all types, at various stages of their businesses. We will share their stories as way to encourage, inspire and challenge all of us to push onwards and upwards in our own business journeys. Our website will also be an online community for entrepreneurs, investors, innovators and seekers.

The vision of Enterprise Creative is to build stronger businesses thereby fostering wealth creation, easing financial insecurity, creating jobs and strengthening the economic base of Nigeria. Our mission is to help entrepreneurs learn, earn and grow.

Thank you for visiting our site. We hope that you will become a frequent visitor, not just to this website but to our off-line events. We also hope that you will act upon what you read and learn; because in the end, that is what makes the difference between those who dream and those who achieve. And as you begin to put your ideas into action, our promise is to support you every step of the way.

Keep keeping on.
