At this year’s Tech in Ghana London 2026, our CEO, Gideon Brefo, shared a compelling vision for the future of Ghanaian innovation: Building a Borderless Innovation Economy. The conference, hosted at the stunning offices of Addleshaw Goddard LLP, brought together investors, diaspora leaders, and entrepreneurs, creating a dynamic platform for collaboration and growth.
Gideon emphasized that while Ghana’s local innovation ecosystems have made great strides, the next frontier is connecting local talent to global markets. By addressing fragmented regulations, payment frictions, and trust gaps, Ghanaian startups can scale beyond borders and compete internationally.
The conference featured insightful panels moderated by Julian B. Mensah, with diaspora leaders such as Izzy Obeng MBE advising on the challenges of relocating and contributing to Ghana’s innovation landscape. Speakers highlighted Ghana’s digital momentum, including its rise in the Digital Africa Index, and stressed that AI is not a competitive advantage on its own—organizations must orchestrate intelligence into tangible operational value.
At hapaSpace, we are proud to empower Ghanaian innovators, supporting them with mentorship, resources, and connections that enable global scaling. As Gideon concluded, Africa’s next great export won’t just be raw materials—it will be borderless innovation.
The energy, insights, and collaborations from Tech in Ghana, London 2026, underscore a bright future for Ghanaian startups and the continent’s innovation economy.
