Daily SumUp

Ghana is set to become a major player in artificial intelligence (AI) and emerging technologies through a landmark partnership with the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The two countries have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to establish the Ghana-UAE Innovations and Technology Hub—a transformative project aimed at accelerating digital transformation and positioning Ghana as a tech powerhouse on the continent.

The ambitious initiative, spearheaded by the UAE’s Ports, Customs and Free Zone Corporation (PCFC), will see the development of a 25 square kilometre innovation district in Ningo-Prampram, serving as a regional base for AI engineering, business process outsourcing (BPO), knowledge process outsourcing (KPO), and machine learning tailored to Africa’s unique data needs.
