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 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 (SMEs).
Mr Ernest Twum Barima, CEO of Adepafie Market Company Limited, expressed appreciation for the Forum, which provided a platform to showcase products to the public.
He noted that it also enabled exhibitors to interact with government officials at their stands, discuss their businesses, and share the challenges they face.
Mr Barima expressed hope that similar platforms would be established nationwide to connect with more customers.
Mr Kojo Osei, Head of Marketing at Empire Domus Company Limited and also an exhibitor, said the initiative would help open up the country’s business sector to investors.
He stated that, so far, he had received a good number of visitors at his stand on the sidelines of the Forum.
Madam Dorcas Ntiamoah, a resident of Kwahu-Mpraeso and a participant in the Forum, said the event had significantly opened up the community by attracting government officials and financial institutions to the area.
She noted that this development could have a positive impact on the local economy of Kwahu, particularly the hospitality and tourism sectors within the enclave.
“We appeal to the Government to ensure the continuity of this initiative so that it does not become a one-day wonder, but something that is held annually to boost the local economy,” she added.
