The British High Commissioner to Ghana has underscored the transformative potential of UK-Ghana partnerships in science, technology, and education.
Speaking at the launch of Imperial Global Ghana, held on November 13, 2024, at her residence, Harriet Thompson highlighted the hub's role as a platform for advancing research, innovation, and knowledge-sharing between the two nations. "This hub is a commitment to the future," she declared. "It's about empowering the next generation of scientists, engineers, and leaders who will shape the world of tomorrow.
Together, we are building bridges to address shared global challenges and creating entrepreneurs who can compete on the world stage." The initiative is a key component of the UK-Ghana Science, Technology, and Innovation (ST&I) strategy, which emphasizes collaboration in fields such as medical diagnostics, artificial intelligence, climate science, and sustainable development.
Partnerships already exist between leading Ghanaian institutions-including the University of Ghana, KNUST, and the University of Cape Coast-and their UK counterparts, but the hub aims to deepen these ties and catalyze new opportunities.
