On Friday, August 2, 2024, I launched Season 5 of the Presidential Pitch Competition on behalf of my boss, Kofi Ofosu Nkansah on the theme: "Youth Entrepreneurship: Power and Possibilities."

The Presidential Pitch for Young Entrepreneurs is a deliberate, systematic, and integrated policy initiative by the National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme-NEIP to boost the entrepreneurial ecosystem in the country. The business competition, a revolution in the history of Ghana for young entrepreneurs between the ages of 18 and 40 serves as an incubating platform for existing businesses and capital funding from the government. The initiative seeks to turn creative businesses by the Ghanaian youth into global business giants with the support of the government.

Over these last four seasons, ninety-five (95) finalists have been trained and funded under the Presidential Pitch. Seven hundred and two (702) direct and over a thousand indirect jobs have been created by winners of the first three seasons of the Presidential Pitch competition.
