CEO of EIB Network Bola Ray has announced the opening of applications for Cohort 2 of the highly anticipated “Entrepreneurship with Bola Ray” program.
In an exciting development for Ghana’s entrepreneurial landscape, this initiative aims to empower and support young innovators in their entrepreneurial journey.
In a social media post on his official social media handles, Bola Ray stated, “I am pleased to announce that applications have opened for COHORT 2 of the Entrepreneurship With Bola Ray Project.”
This second cohort builds on the success of the initial program, which was part of Bola Ray’s 25th anniversary in media and sought to nurture 25 innovative entrepreneurs under 30.
Cohort 2 expands the age range of eligible participants, now targeting deserving entrepreneurs between 18 and 35 years old. The program offers a comprehensive three-month start-up support system for 15 selected participants, providing them with the tools, knowledge, and networks necessary to transform their ideas into successful ventures.
Key features of the program include Funding support to kickstart or scale participants’ businesses, Intensive training in various aspects of entrepreneurship, and Mentorship from industry leaders, including notable figures like KGL boss Alex Dadey and Special Ice Group Chairman Dr Ernest Ofori Sarpong, amongst others, Branding and marketing assistance to help startups gain visibility, and Bookkeeping services to ensure sound financial management.
The initiative aligns with broader goals of fostering economic growth in Ghana by empowering young entrepreneurs, encouraging job creation, and enhancing the country’s entrepreneurial ecosystem.
By providing this holistic support, the program aims to address the common challenges faced by startups, such as lack of resources, guidance, and access to networks.
Interested applicants can submit their applications through the provided Google Forms link. The selection process is expected to be competitive, with the program seeking individuals who demonstrate passion, innovation, and potential for significant impact.
As Ghana continues to position itself as a hub for innovation and entrepreneurship in Africa, initiatives like “Entrepreneurship with Bola Ray” play a crucial role in nurturing the next generation of business leaders. The launch of Cohort 2 represents a continued commitment to this vision, offering hope and opportunity to aspiring entrepreneurs across the nation.
The success of this program could have far-reaching effects, not only on the participants but also on Ghana’s economy as a whole, potentially leading to job creation, increased innovation, and economic diversification.
Aspiring entrepreneurs are encouraged to seize this opportunity and apply for what promises to be a transformative experience in their business journeys.
A past beneficiary of the program Prince Twumasi Osei said at the closing dinner of the Cohort 1 program “We are grateful for the experience, it has been a successful journey, and we have learned a lot. We never saw ourselves on this platform, thank you Bola Ray for the opportunity.”
