“The situation looks unattractive and requires urgent intervention. Zoomlion Ghana Limited, a full cycle Waste management company has fused technology into its processes from the tracking & monitoring of waste collections, recycling, manure and composting, manufacturing of waste bins and e-payment of service charges. The efficiency demonstrated has open up the sector to digitalization across the continent”.

The forum was opened by President Paul Kagame of Rwanda and Chancellor Kurz of Austria at the Austria Center Vienna. Political leaders and CEOs were invited to share their vision on the current and future cooperation between Africa and Europe regarding innovation and digitalization.

In attendance at this high level forum were European and African Heads of State and government officials. Ghana was represented by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and Minister for Communication, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful.

President Kagame who is the Chairman of the African Union and an advocate for the advancement of an African single digital market, emphasized that a pathway to prosperity for all Africans, especially young people, can only be achieved by infusing African economies with technology and by collaborating with Africa’s private sector.

The forum was to promote innovation and digitalization as important enablers of our future development, so that everyone can benefit from the ongoing digital transformation.

The event highlighted the untapped potential for deepening the partnership in technology exchange and trade as well as their importance for economic growth, creating employment opportunities, building resilient societies and fulfilling the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The forum was accompanied by Business to Business (B2B) as well as Business to Government (B2G) meetings where entrepreneurs and innovators exchange their concepts and solutions for the digital age. A lot of innovation is happening both in Africa and in Europe, with many creative start-ups providing solutions for different emerging challenges, and this will be an opportunity to showcase them.
