Past host cities have included Dubai, Istanbul, Johannesburg, Kansas City, Milan, and Rio de Janeiro. Indianapolis becomes the second U.S. city to host since the Congress’s inception in 2009.
The theme for 2025, "Boldness Reshapes the Globe," highlights the impact of entrepreneurial spirit in driving change worldwide.
"I think President Mahama's choice to appoint Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare highlights Ghana's firm dedication to promoting entrepreneurship and private-sector-driven development as key elements of its strategy for transforming the economy," stated Stephen Gyasi-Kwaw, the Country Founder of GEN-Ghana.
“The Minister is expected to participate in the GEC Ministerial Summit and engage in strategic bilateral meetings, investment forums, and high-level dialogues focused on advancing innovation and job creation.”
The Ghana delegation will comprise representatives from government, private sector, entrepreneurial support organizations, and the Ghanaian diaspora. They will showcase Ghana’s investment potential, promote innovations in agribusiness, and explore new partnerships to drive inclusive economic growth.
