Gamathon 2025 set to take place in Nigeria

The sixth edition of Gamathon will take place in Lagos, Nigeria from September 29th to October 4th 2025.

The flagship event is dubbed the finale of this year’s continental tour, which follows Gamathon Kenya, Ghana, and South Africa earlier this year. 

Gamathon 2025 promises to bring together investors, policymakers, creators, students, and enthusiasts in games, XR, animation, and creative tech for one transformative week.

Organiser Africaconicade said the event will feature showcases, talks, studio tours, and stakeholder engagements to drive Africa’s creative industries.

Creating opportunities 

Gamathon 2025 targets Africa’s fast-growing games and creative tech market, aiming to position African youth as creators in the global digital economy rather than just consumers.

The event is endorsed by Nigeria’s Federal and Lagos State ministries, with support from partners like UNDP, Providus Bank, Sanlam Allianz, MSI and others. 

"The regional tours in Kenya, Ghana, and South Africa have demonstrated the immense talent and potential across our continent," said Africacomicade founder Michael Oscar. 

“Gamathon Nigeria 2025 represents the culmination of these efforts, creating bridges between regions and sectors while establishing pathways for youth empowerment, investment, job creation, and socio-economic growth."
