The first cohort of incubates comprising of five entrepreneurial teams have been admitted into the hub and are undergoing mentorship, training, and preparations for several international and local entrepreneurial pitches to source seed funds.

The leadership of the University of Ghana Business School together with the beneficiaries paid a courtesy call on the Managing Director of AMG Ghana, Ernest Appiah, on October 28, 2021.

The UGBS delegation included Professor Justice Bawole, Dean of the UGBS; Emmanuel Poku-Sarkodie, School Administrator; Professor Bedman Narteh, Head of Marketing and Entrepreneurship; Dr. George Acheampong, Coordinator of the Innovation Hub; Mammie Hutchful-Nortey, ORID Liaison for the hub, and the beneficiaries.

He further enlightened the team on the operations of AMG as one of the leading fertilizer producers and distributors in Ghana and a contender in the West African Sub-region.

Mr. Appiah also shared his experiences as an entrepreneur and encouraged the beneficiaries to persist in their businesses and innovations because it will help create employment opportunities for several individuals in the country.

At the meeting and after the five teams had presented their innovations and businesses to him, Mr. Appiah presented the teams with a cheque amount of ¢100,000 as a seed fund to support their business activities.
