QEDNG, the respected online news platform published by Mighty Media Plus Network Limited, has announced the inaugural edition of the QEDNG Creative Powerhouse Summit—a landmark event set to galvanize Nigeria’s creative economy.
The summit will take place on Tuesday, August 12, 2025, at 10:00 a.m., at the Radisson Blu Hotel, Isaac John Street, Ikeja GRA, Lagos.
With the theme “Financing as Catalysts for a Thriving Creative Economy,” the summit will convene a broad spectrum of stakeholders—industry leaders, investors, policymakers, and emerging talents—to chart a path for sustainable growth in Nigeria’s burgeoning creative sector.
Speaking on the motivation behind the initiative, Olumide Iyanda, founder and Chief Executive Officer of Mighty Media Plus Network Limited, said:
“At QEDNG, we are committed to fostering creativity, credible journalism, and human capital development. This summit provides a vital platform to address pressing challenges and unlock the immense potential of Nigeria’s creative economy.”
Nigeria’s creative industries—spanning film, music, visual arts, fashion, advertising, and digital media—make substantial contributions to the national GDP and serve as a dynamic expression of the country’s cultural identity. Yet, the sector faces persistent challenges, including limited access to funding, infrastructure gaps, and sustainability concerns.
The QEDNG Creative Powerhouse Summit aims to confront these issues head-on by exploring innovative financing models, promoting investor-creative partnerships, and offering practical tools for sound financial management. It will also encourage dialogue among creatives, corporate leaders, and policymakers to forge collaborative solutions for long-term sectoral growth.
Open to a diverse audience—including artists, filmmakers, musicians, designers, academics, and financial institutions—the summit promises to deliver fresh insights and valuable networking opportunities for participants across the creative value chain.
“This summit is a strategic initiative to accelerate the growth of Nigeria’s creative economy,” Mr Iyanda noted. “It is designed to bridge critical gaps, mobilize resources, and empower stakeholders to drive lasting, transformative change. It reflects QEDNG’s commitment to Nigeria’s cultural and economic advancement.”
QEDNG has established itself as a leading voice in the promotion of Nigerian creativity, culture, and public discourse. Through the Creative Powerhouse Summit, the platform aims to deepen its contribution to building a vibrant, sustainable future for the country’s creative industries.
Further details, including the lineup of speakers and panelists, will be announced in the coming weeks.
