Ghana has marked a major milestone in its digital transformation agenda with the official launch of AiAfrica Labs in Accra and the graduation of 250 Platinum AI Trainers.
Speaking on behalf of the Minister for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations, Hon. Samuel Nartey George, Deputy Minister Hon. Mohammed Adam Sukparu reaffirmed the government’s commitment to harnessing Artificial Intelligence (AI) for national and continental development. The launch event, held at the Accra Digital Centre, was celebrated as a step towards “localising and democratising AI for Africa’s development,” while creating jobs and bringing market-ready innovations to life.
The 250 graduates, trained with advanced AI competencies, are expected to play a key role in supporting Ghana’s industries, institutions, and economic growth.
Hon. Sukparu highlighted several initiatives under Ghana’s AI and digital transformation drive, including the One Million Coders Programme, the Draft National Artificial Intelligence Strategy, the review of the Ghana Innovation and Startup Bill, the Girls-in-ICT Programme, AI training for Cabinet members, public sector AI integration, and the upcoming Data Harmonisation Act to regulate public sector data and support culturally relevant AI models.
He emphasised that AI adoption must remain inclusive, benefiting rural communities, women, persons with disabilities, and other marginalised groups. The launch aligns with Ghana’s 24-Hour Economy Policy, aimed at fostering productivity, digital enablement, and a competitive technology-driven workforce.
