Will host a webinar on Advancing Innovation and Entrepreneurship for Job Creation: The Role of Higher Education

Education has the power to shape the world by imparting knowledge that shapes the orientation and skill sets of the next generation who are expected to create profitable businesses to sustain national economies.

A panel will explore the intersection between higher education, innovation, and entrepreneurship, with a goal that seeks to answer the following questions:

1. What is the role of higher education and higher educational institutions in innovation and entrepreneurship?

2. Does Ghana’s current educational structure address the skills gaps and cater to future entrepreneurs and innovators?

3. How can higher education institutions be positioned to attract and nurture entrepreneurial talents, and churn out relevant innovations to propel the economy?

The panelists will leverage key enablers, institutional processes, capabilities, opportunities and share practical examples from other parts of the world to support their submissions and suggestions.
