Only a few weeks before the Heads of State meeting in Berlin on the Compact with Africa, we would like to put a special focus on Ghana. Ghana’s growing economic prosperity and democratic political system have made it a regional power in Africa. It offers many opportunities for foreign investors. Thematic content for discussion at the Investors Forum will be Automotive, Agriculture and Financial Technology.
The Forum will take a novel and exciting approach of being a dual continent event, simultaneously connected by state-of-the-art technology. Each of the three sessions will start with a keynote speech which will be transmitted to both audiences, followed by local panel discussions in Berlin and in Accra. In the final step of the session, a joint panel will take the discussion to the next level, in a panel transmission linking Accra panelists with panelists in Berlin.
