100 Ghanaian Startups were celebrated and honoured at the Ghana Innovation and Startup Awards held over the weekend at the Accra Digital Centre.

The awards ceremony held on 15th December to crown the 2nd edition of Ghana Startup Week saw top players in Ghana’s startup ecosystem assemble in unity to celebrate the deserving Startups.

Ghana Startup Week (GSW) 2023, held under the theme: “Youthful Startup Innovations; Fuelling Ghana’s Future Prosperity”, was powered by the Association of Ghana Startups in collaboration with National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Program, Ghana Enterprises Agency, National Youth Authority, Ghana Digital Centres Ltd, Venture Capital Trust Fund, GEC+ Africa 2024, International Trade Centre, Vodafone and other key players in the Startup ecosystem.

GSW aims to promote ecosystem dialogue and knowledge management as important drivers of policy planning and implementation, as well as building capacities and highlighting the promising industrial sectors that attract investment or funding, continental trade, and sustainable growth of our economy to drive the engagement of Startups, SMEs, Youth and Women entrepreneurs.

Having held the Ghana Startup Ecosystem Summit for two days from Wednesday to Thursday, the Awards Night on Friday crowned it all in grand style, celebrating the achievements of Ghana’s youth and Startup ecosystem players.

As part of his welcome address, Solomon Adjei, President of the Association of Ghana Startups congratulated the nominees and admonished them to be proud of having been selected to be part of the best 100 startups in Ghana and not to worry much about just winning the ultimate plaque. He encouraged them to let their nomination work for them by publicising it and adding it to their portfolios, which will in turn bring them deals as it bestows public and stakeholder confidence in their brands.

The Director of Innovations at the Ministry of Environment, Science, Technology, and Innovation (MESTI), Mr. Nashiru Salifu, assured the Startups of the Ministry’s commitment to supporting them to scale beyond borders.
