Our Story
Founded in year 2025, SICI was created to address two challenges:
1. The untapped potential of African creatives struggling to access training, funding, and markets.
2. The lack of cultural and business exchange opportunities between Africa and Europe.
We started with small workshops and cultural exhibitions. Today, SICI works across two continents, delivering training programs, cultural exchange events, and digital skills bootcamps that help hundreds of creatives each year.
