AGS, NEIP lead international mission to unlock global opportunities for Ghanaian startups

The Association of Ghana Startups (AGS), in collaboration with the National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme (NEIP), concluded a high-level trade and investment mission to Europe. The mission aimed at attracting investment, building strategic partnerships, and expanding global opportunities for Ghanaian startups. This initiative, organized under the Ghana Startups Trade Missions, brought together startup founders and NEIP officials for engagements at the FEF AI for Sustainable Development (FEF AI4SD) Conference in France and GITEX Europe 2026 in Berlin, Germany. AGS stated the initiative was designed to position Ghana's startup ecosystem on the global stage by connecting local entrepreneurs with international investors, technology leaders, and new markets.

The delegation included NEIP Deputy Chief Executive Officer, Joan Selassie Ahiawodor, alongside two directors and an administrative staff member. AGS President Solomon Adjei said Ghana's startup ecosystem continues to gain momentum and requires stronger international collaboration to accelerate its growth. He stated, "Ghana possesses one of Africa's fastest-growing startup ecosystems. Our participation in these global platforms demonstrates our commitment to connecting Ghanaian entrepreneurs with international opportunities, investors, technologies and markets. Through strong collaboration with NEIP and our international partners, we are building pathways that will enable Ghanaian startups to compete and scale globally."
