3 Days of Creativity at the Bright/CBC Global Finals 2025 – Copenhagen, Denmark!
From inspiring pitches by National Winners worldwide to over 30 dynamic creative roundtables — including the one we proudly hosted on Africa’s Creative Economy — this year’s finals were nothing short of transformative.
1st Place – Botswana: Mattie’s Success
The first-ever African global CBC champion! Their innovation transforms banana stem fibers into eco-friendly hair extensions and braids — turning agro-waste into sustainable fashion and beauty. A true win for Africa’s creative industries.
2nd Place – South Korea: Invalab
Harnessing drones and AI to restore ecosystems by mapping invasive plants and deploying custom “seed balls” to accelerate biodiversity.
3rd Place – Ireland: Starlium
A music-tech startup redefining fan experiences by converting lyrics and catalogues into visuals, insights, and immersive journeys.
We are proud to be part of Bright and look forward to welcoming the world to Lagos in 2026 for the Creative Economy Summit.
