Industry clusters worth visiting

5

Sector hubs your delegates can map a site visit, guest speaker, or post-class field study against.

01

Fintech & Mobile Money

  • Zeepay
  • ExpressPay
  • Bank of Ghana

Ghana's mobile money ecosystem is one of the largest in West Africa. Delegates in governance, risk, or digital-payments training benefit from proximity to regulators and fintech innovators.

02

Technology & Innovation Hubs

  • MEST Africa
  • Impact Hub Accra
  • iSpace Foundation
  • Ghana Tech Lab

Accra hosts over 100 innovation hubs and incubators. Tech-focused delegates can visit co-working spaces, accelerators, and the Google AI Ghana research centre for real-world context.

03

Agritech

  • Farmerline
  • Kosmos Innovation Center

Agriculture remains central to Ghana's economy, and Accra-based agritech startups are applying data and mobile platforms to improve supply chains and farmer livelihoods.

04

Healthtech & Pharmaceuticals

  • mPharma

mPharma, headquartered in Accra, operates across multiple African countries, making the city relevant for delegates studying health-sector innovation and supply-chain management.

05

International Trade & Policy

  • African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Secretariat

The AfCFTA Secretariat is headquartered in Accra, making the city a focal point for delegates studying trade policy, cross-border commerce, and continental economic integration.

Training venue

Accra offers a range of international-standard hotels and conference facilities in areas such as Airport City, Cantonments, and East Legon, suitable for professional training events. Venues typically provide air-conditioned meeting rooms, AV equipment, and catering services.

Getting there

Kotoka International Airport (ACC) is Accra's sole international airport, located approximately 10 km from the city centre. Taxis, ride-hailing apps (Uber and Bolt operate in Accra), and hotel shuttle services are the most reliable transfer options; allow extra time for traffic congestion, especially during morning and evening rush hours.

Visa

Most non-African passport holders require a visa obtained in advance from a Ghanaian embassy or consulate; Ghana also offers a Visa on Arrival (Emergency Entry Visa) at Kotoka International Airport, but this requires pre-approval from the Ghana Immigration Service arranged by a host in Ghana before travel. Citizens of all African Union member states can enter Ghana visa-free. Confirm current requirements with the nearest Ghanaian diplomatic mission — visa rules vary by passport.

Safety

Accra is generally considered one of the safer capital cities in West Africa; however, delegates should exercise normal urban precautions — avoid displaying valuables, use reputable transport, and stay aware of surroundings in crowded markets. Carry a copy of your passport and Yellow Fever vaccination certificate at all times.
