The event, organized by the Czech Chamber of Commerce and local Ghanaian trade authorities, attracted key figures from governments, business leaders, and entrepreneurs eager to explore new avenues for collaboration.
President Pavel, in his keynote speech, highlighted the robust opportunities in sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing, technology, and renewable energy, which offer mutually beneficial prospects for businesses in both countries. He praised Ghana’s economic growth trajectory and strategic position as a gateway to the West African market, making it an ideal partner for the Czech Republic’s industrial and technological expertise.
“The Czech Republic is ready to engage in deeper economic cooperation with Ghana, leveraging our strong industrial base and experience in sectors like engineering, machinery, and renewable energy solutions. Ghana’s emerging market presents exciting opportunities for both nations,” President Pavel remarked.
He also emphasized the importance of strengthening trade relations and fostering business partnerships through direct investments, joint ventures, and technology transfers. Pavel pointed out that the Czech Republic, known for its advanced manufacturing and engineering sectors, could offer Ghana vital support in diversifying its economy and boosting industrial capacity.
During the seminar, representatives from Czech businesses, including those in the fields of clean energy, infrastructure, and ICT, expressed their interest in exploring business ventures with Ghanaian counterparts. Czech companies are particularly keen on contributing to Ghana’s renewable energy initiatives, with solar energy, wind power, and hydroelectric solutions being a focal point.
In addition to the business-focused sessions, the event facilitated networking opportunities, where Ghanaian entrepreneurs were encouraged to explore potential partnerships with Czech companies. Ghana’s Deputy Minister of Trade and Industry, Kwaku Ofori Asiamah, echoed President Pavel’s sentiments, noting that the seminar was a crucial step in establishing stronger trade ties between the two countries.
“Ghana is poised to expand its reach within Africa and beyond, and we see the Czech Republic as a valuable partner in this journey. This seminar is just the beginning of a broader effort to cultivate business collaboration between our nations,” Asiamah said.
Both nations also discussed ways to enhance cooperation in education and training, with the Czech Republic offering expertise in technical education and vocational training to support Ghana’s growing workforce.
