This year\u2019s Oxford Summit of Leaders has opened in the United Kingdom with the Chief Executive of Ghana’s First Sky Group delivering a powerful speech in which he made a compelling case for foreign investors to stream into Ghana to form partnerships with indigenous Ghanaian business leaders.<\/p>\n
Opening the summit in the city of Oxford in Britain, Eric Seddy Kutortse, an indigenous Ghanaian entrepreneur who has won many local and international awards, used his keynote speech to project Ghana as a-must-visit business and investment destination that the world should wholeheartedly embrace through partnerships with Ghanaian entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n
As a sign that he believes in robust partnerships with credible foreign investors, Mr. Kutortse said Tuesday that he has signed an MOU with European investors to help First Sky Cocoa Processing, a new subsidiary of the First Sky Group, to establish a truly modern cocoa processing factory in the Western Region of Ghana. He did not give details.<\/p>\n
He said Ghana continues to develop the right legal and institutional frameworks necessary for businesses to emerge, grow, and flourish exponentially in ways that positively impact host communities and populations.<\/p>\n
“It is on this note that I invite business leaders and investors gathered here to visit Ghana to take full advantage of the endless business opportunities emerging, by entering into mutually rewarding partnerships with local business owners and investors,” he told his audience at the packed event at the Oxford Town Hall.<\/p>\n
Mr. Kutortse continued, “A mix of factors, including a growing national economy,\u00a0and the business friendly policies of the State, have created the right climate for businesses to emerge, grow and expand.\u201d<\/p>\n
