A forum which is aimed at bringing together all young entrepreneurs in Ghana is to be launched in 2018 in Ghana. The AFRICA ECONOMIC DIALOGUE (AFED) will help in working on issues that help in making the young African entrepreneurs successful. Justice Offei Jr is the founder of AFED. Furthermore, the forum is in collaboration with the Entrepreneurs Club Ghana (ECGH). The forum will bring together young African entrepreneurs to the same roof with seasonal TV and radio personalities. Moreover, they will interact with policymakers and industrial stakeholders.
During the forum, a day will be set aside for ENTREPRENEURS WALK across the cities in Ghana. It will be used to enlighten the country’s parliament on important policies that need to be put in place to change the whole being of African ventures. The walk will also factor in on what should be done to keep the existing startups active. AFED believes in the fact that most African economies rely on the local businesses. In Europe, the local businesses have been successful in building a strong economy. Such economies have influenced various economies in other regions like Africa.
Ghanaian enterprises are in a position to do well beyond the African borders. This is only if the country’s policymakers offer the needed innovative support. The policymakers should also work on propelling informed policies. AFED is coming in to make sure that all the policies are in place to make sure that young entrepreneurs get all the necessary requirements. The forum only needs adequate support from entrepreneurs. This will with no doubt help boost the country’s economy. AFED is looking forward to bringing on board more stakeholders who share with it the same vision. This will offer the best breeding ground to Ghana’s upcoming enterprises. Furthermore, it will guarantee them a good environment that will help them succeed.
