IGNITE Ghana launches to drive AI, entrepreneurship and local business growth

A new initiative, IGNITE Ghana, has been launched with a focus on promoting artificial intelligence (AI), entrepreneurship and Ghanaian-made products while equipping young people with skills to take advantage of emerging opportunities.

Organisers say the broader IGNITE Ghana initiative will focus on developing intellectual skills, promoting ethical business practices and providing young people with practical knowledge in entrepreneurship and AI.

The initiative comes at a time when AI is increasingly influencing education, employment and business, although access to the skills required to effectively use the technology remains a challenge for many young people.
