For the past five years, the Gamathon has been the beating heart of Africa’s gaming and immersive media ecosystem. What started as a gathering of pioneers has evolved into a continental hub for collaboration, learning, and growth.

Africa is home to the world’s fastest-growing population and a rapidly digitizing economy, with millions of young people consuming and creating digital content. From video games and XR (extended reality) to interactive art and AI-driven creativity, Africa is poised to become a leader in next-generation media innovation.

Yet, challenges remain. Many African creators face limited funding, infrastructure gaps, and access barriers to global markets. Gamathon 2025 directly addresses these gaps by creating a platform that not only celebrates African creativity but also connects it with global opportunities.
