The billionaire called for more support urging all to “start to help, inspire, support and inspire start-up spirit and entrepreneurial spirit.”

He cited the setting up of the National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Plan as well as the Presidential Pitch contest for young entrepreneurs as some of many initiatives to spur entrepreneurship in the country.
The President also stated that the role of entrepreneurship in spurring economic growth on the continent cannot be overemphasized especially if Africa has to thrive without aid.
“I firmly believe that we can build a Ghana and indeed an Africa beyond aid that is prosperous. We can build an Africa, that is in charge of its economic destiny; a transformed Africa that is prosperous enough. An Africa that is competitive for the rest of the world to trade and invest in,” he said.
He added, “We can only do this if we invest in entrepreneurship and ensure that the populations are aggressive in pursuing their entrepreneurial agenda”.
Guest speaker at the conference, Former UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon also added his voice to the call to empower entrepreneurs on the continent.
The Africa Netpreneur Prize Initiative is a flagship program of Chinese business magnate and founder of Alibaba e-commerce platform Jack Ma.
