MFF 2016 was the launch year for Maputo Fast Forward, and had as the focus of the event a series of LONG (30m) and SHORT (15m) talks focusing both on the presentation of projects and addressing the most outstanding trends in various creative areas.

These were accompanied by several initiatives, which occupied various areas of the Fernando Leite Couto Foundation, in which creators in fields as diverse as technologies, architecture and urban furniture, design, communication, entrepreneurship or education will present their projects and be able to interact directly with the public.
