Theme, discussion points and structure

The Summit, being held under the theme, “The Futuristic Economy: Technology-Driven Future of Business and Governance for Economic Transformation” is committed to unlocking Ghana’s economic potential by championing private sector-led growth. The world of business and governance is at the threshold of transformation driven by a confluence of technologies.

These and many more questions are going to be explored at this exceptional business conference.
