The program also included a reception hosted by the H.E. Svante Kilander, Swedish Ambassador to Ghana and Amarkai Amarteifio, Swedish Consul General in Ghana.

Ghana is one of the fastest growing markets within ICT in Sub-Saharan Africa, providing huge business opportunities for Swedish companies. We look forward to continued relations between Swedish and Ghanaian companies.
