The Minister for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovation, Hon. Samuel Nartey George MP, has reaffirmed Ghana's commitment to supporting foreign investment in the country's digital and development sectors, highlighting opportunities for UAE investors to collaborate with Ghana on strategic initiatives.
Speaking during a meeting with His Excellency Mohamed Bin Abdulla Al Marzooqi, Chairman of the Al Marzooqi Group, Minister George emphasized that the government encourages credible private sector investment in areas such as data centres, cybersecurity, blockchain technology, and artificial intelligence. He noted that while Ghana already operates a national data centre, there remains significant space for private entities to establish facilities serving banks, telecoms, and other industries, provided licensing requirements are met.
The Minister highlighted blockchain technology as a key focus, particularly for digitizing land records at the Lands Commission to reduce disputes and enhance transparency. He also outlined plans to establish a centralised Security Operations Centre SOC to coordinate cybersecurity efforts across financial services, telecoms, energy, and government institutions.
