By Ghana’s Chief of Staff, Akosua Frema Osei-Opare, has commended Ghanaian women for their pivotal role in propelling Ghana’s digital transformation forward. Speaking at the 7th Ghana Female CEOs Summit, she highlighted the significant impact of technology in reshaping industries and societies.
The event, themed “Leading Ghana’s Digital Renaissance: Women CEOs Shaping the Future of Business and Innovation,” brought together female CEOs, entrepreneurs, and innovators to discuss and advance digital initiatives in Ghana.
She emphasized that this transformation offers unprecedented opportunities to enhance efficiency, inclusivity, and sustainability, with women leaders leading the charge in this transformative journey.
“As female CEOs, entrepreneurs, and innovators, you are not just shaping the future of business in Ghana; you are architects of change, catalysts for progress, and champions of empowerment,” stated Osei-Opare, recognising the pivotal role played by women leaders in driving innovation and progress.
However, Osei-Opare also acknowledged the persistent gender disparities that persist in the business world, particularly within the technology sector.

Calling for collective action, Osei-Opare urged attendees to redouble their efforts in promoting gender equality, fostering inclusive environments, and breaking down barriers that hold women back.
She stressed the importance of creating ecosystems that empower women to thrive, innovate, and lead with confidence.
“Let us seize the opportunities that the digital age presents, harness the power of technology to drive meaningful change, and ensure that women are not just participants but change leaders in shaping the future of business and innovation in Ghana and beyond,” Osei-Opare said.
Osei-Opare encouraged women to embrace their unique strengths, pursue their passions relentlessly, and recognise the significant impact they can make in driving societal advancement.
