Events and Logistics Hub in collaboration with NMJ Ghana has launched the 2nd edition of the Gold Coast Excellence Awards (GCEA), which is scheduled to come off in March 2020.
The GCEA is an award scheme created to honor the most outstanding achievements of professionals in their field. The awards scheme takes an extensive look at the most remarkable examples of expertise in Ghana, with categories that cover various sectors from Agriculture to Automobile.
The GCEA’s core mission is to develop innovation and excellence in people and the industries in Ghana, to further their role in society. The event seeks to influence Ghanaian industries for great criterions as well as shed light on individuals and firms by celebrating them.
Speaking to starrfm.com.gh, CEO for the scheme Mimi Andani said the award will bridge the gap between the small and large scale entrepreneurs and establishments.
She said “we don’t just focus on established entrepreneurs, we are also looking at unsung entrepreneurs and that’s why we gave an opportunity for the pre nomination. Anyone can nominate an entrepreneur which will give an opportunity to unsung companies and unsung entrepreneurs.”
She acknowledged that there are entrepreneurs who are doing great across the continent and putting Ghana on the map. “But because they don’t even care about PR, they don’t want any popularity, people don’t know them. So that’s the opportunity for people to nominate such people, she added”
She added “so gold coast excellence is to build the gap between the established and unsung ones who are also doing great. So basically anybody can go there and nominate, then we do the research. And then give to the board to decide. Sometimes we even go to FDA because we need to look at the product quality and your level of hygiene before you are considered.”
Nominations will be open from 10th November, 2019 to 10th January, 2020
