CoLab started as one creator’s struggle to find collaborators and organise projects ,a challenge shared across Africa’s creative industry. What began with a small community event grew into a platform built specifically for how creatives work: a space to plan projects, collaborate, and showcase real portfolios. Today, CoLab is becoming the creative operating system for Africa turning ideas into finished work and helping creatives, studios, and institutions thrive.
