Adam Afriye, a U.K. trade envoy to Ghana, recently spoke at the launch of Business is GREAT in Accra, Ghana, to highlight U.K. capabilities in health care, technology, creative industries, education, agritechnology and financial, legal and professional services.
Afriye noted that the U.K. has a lot to offer in these industries and that it wants Ghanaian companies to benefit.
“As part of this, we are running an exciting online campaign aimed at Ghanaian buyers and business owners interested in sourcing products and services from the U.K. to help them grow,” Afriye said. “The message is that the U.K. is open for business.”
Afriye went on to discuss innovation as a necessary tool for Ghana. He believes the U.K. can help provide that innovation through its digital technologies, world-leading academics and businesses working in media, Internet, communications and cyber security.
“I know that the UKTI team here at the British High Commission receive many inquiries from Ghanaian companies who are looking for innovative solutions,” Afriye said. “We want to build on that and provide a free digital service to buyers - to extend our outreach, and match U.K. and Ghanaian businesses more effectively. The demand is here. And U.K. companies can supply: there are over 20,000 suppliers in health care, creative industries and education alone.”
