The College of Physicians and Surgeons in Accra, Ghana, will be the place to be on July 30–31 as we host the Supply Chain Business Forum and Exhibition. The event will bring together industry experts, business leaders, and academic researchers around the theme “Fueling Africa’s Growth: Supply Chain Innovation and Financing.”
The goal of the forum is to enhance supply chain management practices across the continent.
The event will feature a dynamic blend of keynote speeches, panel discussions, exhibitions, and networking engagements. Companies operating across logistics, agriculture, energy, manufacturing, and digital platforms will also be showcasing their products and services in an interactive exhibition space.
Program
Serving as the special guest of honour for the event will be Hon. Julius Debrah, Chief of Staff of the Office of the President of the Republic of Ghana. The forum’s exhibition hall will remain open throughout the two days, allowing attendees to connect with companies working in logistics, agri-processing, transportation, retail, and digital innovation.
A major highlight of Day One will be the panel discussion on “Unlocking Innovation: How Africa’s Entrepreneurship Ecosystem Can Transform Supply Chains.” The panel will explore how startups and entrepreneurial ventures are transforming supply chain processes.
Day Two of the forum will dive into sector-specific financing strategies, featuring two insightful panel discussions:
- “Innovative Supply Chain Financing Models for Key Sectors of Ghana’s Economy”
- “Navigating Ghana’s Automotive Industry”
These sessions will provide actionable insights for entrepreneurs, investors, and policymakers seeking to unlock capital and foster sustainable supply chain development.
The forum will feature keynote speakers across the two days, each addressing different aspects of the event’s central theme.
- Dr. Maxwell Ampong, Chief Executive of Maxwell Investments Group, will speak on collaboration and resource sharing as a driver of economic growth.
- Hon. Dr. Andrews Osei Okrah, CEO of the Ghana Tree Crops Development Authority, will share insights from the agricultural supply chain sector.
