What are Closed Pitching Sessions at MIP Africa?

Closed Pitching Sessions are exclusive, behind-closed-doors opportunities where selected creators present their projects directly to a panel of top industry decision-makers — including broadcasters, streamers, distributors, and producers — in a focused, private setting.

These sessions aren’t open to the public or general market attendees. The goal is to create a safe, distraction-free environment where creators can:

• Present their story, vision, and business case without competing noise.

• Receive immediate feedback from seasoned industry professionals.

• Build high-value connections with decision-makers actively seeking new content.

Why we do it at MIP Africa:
MIP Africa is where African stories meet global buyers. The Closed Pitching Sessions give promising projects a platform that goes beyond casual networking — they facilitate serious business conversations in a curated, high-impact environment. By matching the right ideas with the right people, we accelerate the path from concept to commission, helping bring more African stories to screens worldwide.
