Theme, discussion points and structure
The Summit, being held under the theme, “The Futuristic Economy: Technology-Driven Future of Business and Governance for Economic Transformation” is committed to unlocking Ghana’s economic potential by championing private sector-led growth. The world of business and governance is at the threshold of transformation driven by a confluence of technologies.
With the arrival of the technology revolution, what will business and economic growth look like in the future? How will success be measured?

How is technology going to change the face of business, government and society? What are the big bets being made by companies to digitally transform their models and organizational structures? These and many more questions are going to be explored at this exceptional business conference.
