adsAcademic City University (Ghana) has unveiled new programmes aimed at equipping the next generation of innovators, engineers and industry leaders with skills tailored to Africa’s rapidly evolving tech and industrial landscape.
Fred McBagonluri, president of Academic City, speaking at the unveiling ceremony, said the programmes formed part of the university’s vision 2030 strategy and were intentionally designed to address sectors shaping the future of work and economic transformation.
“Ghana and Africa as a whole must move beyond simply consuming imported technologies and instead develop the expertise and research capacity to create solutions locally.
“Ghana is one of the world’s leading cocoa producers, yet much of what we need to know about cocoa, the science, processing, economics, and value addition, is not housed here. We need to be intentional about how we develop this country,” he said.
McBagonluri explained that the programmes were built around three strategic priorities: strengthening Africa’s existing advantages, solving local challenges through innovation, and developing transformational leadership capable of driving national progress.adsads
