Ghana is positioning itself as a leading destination for emerging tech companies in Africa, with a proposed Innovation and Startups Bill at the heart of its strategy. Experts say the country stands at a critical turning point in strengthening its entrepreneurial ecosystem.
Consultant Cofie urged a balanced approach, warning that the bill must go beyond policy promises. “Ghana must ensure the Startup Bill is not just a policy on paper but a fully functional system with clear timelines, enforcement mechanisms, and accountability structures,” she said.
