The people behind ASTAF

A Bridge Needs Strength On Both Sides.

Ghanaian Leadership, Dutch Coordination and Shared Growth.

Our shared vision

Two Organisations, One Practical Route Between Ghana and Europe.

Africom Pathway Ghana

Ghana-side leadership

Africom Pathway, Ghana

Africom Pathway is a Ghana-based organisation working across international market access, cultural exchange, business development, travel, education and diaspora engagement. Its role in ASTAF is to lead Ghana-side programme development and connect the festival with artists, businesses, tourism operators, cultural institutions, government stakeholders and investment-ready projects.

For ASTAF, Africom Pathway will coordinate Ghanaian participation, support exhibitor and delegation preparation, contribute to programme design and help ensure that the festival creates measurable benefits for Ghana. Its work will include identifying credible participants, building partnerships and supporting follow-up after the event.

ASTAF is designed around a principle Africom Pathway considers essential: international exposure should create value at home. Ghanaian creators should gain buyers and commissions. Tourism businesses should gain visitors. Institutions should gain international relationships. Investment discussions should lead to properly assessed projects in Ghana.

Sadiko Express BV Netherlands

Netherlands-based coordination

Sadiko Express BV, Netherlands

Sadiko Express BV is the Netherlands-based organising and host partner for ASTAF. Its role is to support local coordination, logistics, European outreach, stakeholder engagement and the practical delivery of the festival in the Netherlands.

Sadiko Express BV will help connect ASTAF with Dutch and European communities, businesses, institutions, service providers and diaspora networks. Its local presence is important to venue coordination, regulatory compliance, supplier management, audience development and relationships with potential partners.

How the bridge works
