Africa-Press – Ghana. Exhibitors and participants at the Kwahu Business Forum have commended the Government for providing a platform to connect and engage stakeholders in the business sector.
They have also urged the Government and state institutions to integrate the concerns and suggestions raised at the Forum into policies for the sector.
The two-day Forum, themed “The Future of Business: The Role of the Financial Sector,” was held at the Mpraeso Social Centre in the Kwahu South Municipality of the Eastern Region.
The Forum, spearheaded by President John Dramani Mahama, aims to foster entrepreneurship and support the growth of Ghana’s Small and Medium Enterprises.
Mr. Ernest Twum Barima, CEO of Adepafie Market Company Limited, appreciated the Forum for creating a platform to showcase products to the public.
He noted that it also enabled them to interact with government officials at their exhibition centers, discuss their businesses and the challenges they faced.
Mr. Barima expressed hope for the establishment of similar platforms nationwide to connect with more customers.
Mr Kojo Osei, Head of Marketing, Empire Domus Company Limited, also an exhibitor, said the initiative would help open the country’s business sector to investors.
He stated that, so far, he had had an appreciable number of people visiting his stand on the sidelines of the Forum.
Madam Dorcas Ntiamoah, a resident of Kwahu-Mpraeso and a participant in the Forum, said that the event had significantly opened the community by attracting government officials and financial institutions to the area.
She noted that this development could positively impact the local economy of Kwahu, particularly the hospitality and tourism sectors within the enclave.
“We appeal to government to ensure the continuity of this so that it does not become a one-day-wonder, but something that will be done annually to help the local economy here,” she added.
