SPI to Provide Strategic Recommendations for the Development of the Screen Industries in the Republic of Benin

Olsberg•SPI (SPI) has been commissioned by Sèmè City, the government’s flagship innovation hub in the Republic of Benin, to undertake a comprehensive study that will provide recommendations for the development of the screen industries in the country. This study will cover various areas, including film, television, animation, video games, interactive content, and emerging methods of screen production, such as virtual production.

The study will provide a set of strategic recommendations for infrastructure creation, policy development, financial tools to assist production, and skills development opportunities. With this initiative, the Republic of Benin aims to lay the foundations for the development of the sector in the country, with the goal of creating new employment opportunities, particularly for young people and women.

The study will be conducted in two phases:

• In a first mapping and strategy phase: SPI will analyse the current status of the screen industries in Benin and provide strategic recommendations to stimulate sector growth.

• The feasibility study phase will assess the technical, financial, and operational viability of production infrastructure in Benin.
