Something important has been quietly building inside the Alliance Ethio-Française of Addis Ababa. Over the past months, a new generation of Ethiopian startups, working in AI, game development, animation, and immersive reality, have been sharpening their craft, building their businesses, and preparing to show the world what they’ve made. This April 2026, they take center stage.
The Ethio-French CreaTech Forum 2026 (April 22–24) is more than a creative tech conference. It’s a festival, part showcase, part marketplace, part cultural celebration, born from an Ethiopian-French partnership that believes Africa’s digital future is being built right now, and that Addis Ababa is one of the places building it.
The Alliance Ethio-Francaise of Addis Ababa compound will transform into a living creative ecosystem, with panels and fireside chats bringing together founders, investors, and industry voices from Ethiopia, Africa, and France. Hands-on masterclasses across game development, VR, animation, and AI offer real learning for anyone ready to build. The public exhibition, interactive corners, and a high-energy game tournament make sure there’s something for every kind of curious mind and the evening programming, featuring live performances where music, poetry, and digital art collide in real time, gives the whole thing a cultural pulse you won’t find at an ordinary industry event.
