ONY's objective is to support and give visibility to Malagasy creativity, encourage collaborations between artists and creative people from different backgrounds, share skills and know-how between local, regional and international professionals, and eventually foster the emergence of an ecosystem of projects in the film, video game and music sectors. An ecosystem that would accelerate the development of cultural and creative industries in Madagascar and create a regional dynamic in the Indian Ocean, thus promoting economic opportunities, the identification of talents and cultural exchanges. To do so, ONY is developing 3 different programs: 1. ONY BOOSTER: an annual call for projects targeting emerging organizations in the cultural and creative industries (CCI) in Madagascar through a 6 to 12 months support (mentorship program, access to a wide international network of opportunities, access to the ONY House in Antananarivo, and personalized weekly coaching). 2. ONY Academy: through its partners, ONY engages with a wide network of professionals that deliver training and coaching to local artists and young people eager to make their talent grow in the cultural and creative industries. 4. ONY House: ONY has opened a unique hub in Antananarivo dedicated to CCIs. The 400m space will be operated by ONY and will provide local CCI entrepreneurs with a place with affordable but premium work conditions and the opportunity to showcase their artistic work to a wider audience.
