The Future is yours
Creating more investment opportunities and increasing visibility and networking amongst startups and SMEs in Ghana. We aim at a more vibrant entrepreneurship ecosystem in Northern Ghana and promote economic growth.
We are thrilled to launch the Grow Northern Ghana project. This project is in cooperation with GIZ and supported by The State Chancellery of North Rhine Westphalia.
The goal of this project is to create more investment opportunities and increase visibility and networking amongst startups and SMEs in Ghana which will contribute to a more vibrant entrepreneurship ecosystem in Northern Ghana and promote economic growth.
Our intervention is in three components…….
As start-ups from Northern Ghana are frequently even struggling to finance minor investments that are necessary for developing e.g. prototypes, the project aims at developing, testing, and administering a public-private financing mechanism for covering small-scale investments for start-ups, matching seed-money from the project with contributions from companies and/or other private sponsors based on a 50:50 share.
The project foresees a component for providing a seed-money grant for 3-4 innovative business approaches from mixed teams from Ghana and Germany (preferably North Rhine-Westphalia), offering solutions for Ghana’s priority development challenges.
The project will also enhance the visibility of MSMEs in Northern Ghana through the development of a digital platform and to connect them with other companies in the country.
