Past host cities have included Dubai, Istanbul, Johannesburg, Kansas City, Milan, and Rio de Janeiro. Indianapolis becomes the second U.S. city to host since the Congress’s inception in 2009.
The 2025 theme, “The Bold Transforms the World,” emphasizes the transformative power of entrepreneurship.
“I believe President Mahama’s decision to designate Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare underscores Ghana’s strong commitment to advancing entrepreneurship and private sector-led growth as a cornerstone of its economic transformation agenda,” said Stephen Gyasi-Kwaw, Country Founder of GEN-Ghana.
“The Minister is expected to participate in the GEC Ministerial Summit and engage in strategic bilateral meetings, investment forums, and high-level dialogues focused on advancing innovation and job creation.”
The Ghana delegation will comprise representatives from government, private sector, entrepreneurial support organizations, and the Ghanaian diaspora. They will showcase Ghana’s investment potential, promote innovations in agribusiness, and explore new partnerships to drive inclusive economic growth.
Participation in GEC Indiana aligns with Ghana’s international economic diplomacy agenda to elevate its startup ecosystem, build capacity for MSMEs, and strengthen public-private partnerships globally.
