Accra, Ghana – The Ministry of Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations hosted a productive meeting with Kofi Ocloo, Vice President of Heritors Labs, and his team, alongside consultants from the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), to discuss the Ghana Innovation and Startup Bill.
This crucial initiative aims to foster innovation and support startups across the nation.
The meeting marked a significant step forward in promoting entrepreneurship and innovation in Ghana.
During the meeting, Mr. Ocloo presented evidence reports that provided valuable insights into the current landscape of innovation in Ghana. These reports will serve as a foundation for the ongoing development of the bill.
