Business leaders gathered female entrepreneurs and young startup founders for a special training day around Central Region. The Ghana National Chamber of Commerce and Industry organized this workshop to help women and youth build stronger companies. They focused on teaching people about investment chances and business policies that could help small companies grow bigger. The event targeted the Women and Youth Wing members who need better access to money, guidance, and markets. Leaders want these entrepreneurs to overcome the major problems that stop most small businesses from succeeding.
Dr Emelia Assiakwa from the Chamber spoke about how banks make it hard for women to borrow money for their businesses. She explained that strict lending rules prevent many female business owners from getting the cash they need to operate. The Chamber has created new programs to encourage more Ghanaian women to start their companies and hire other people. Female participation has grown dramatically over the past ten years across the business world. Women represent one of the best investment opportunities because they deliver results quickly.
Regional Chairman George Smith pointed out serious challenges facing young entrepreneurs and women who run small companies. He mentioned problems like limited startup money, expensive long-term loans, poor business registration support, and weak training programs. These barriers keep most women-led and youth-owned businesses stuck at very small levels. The Chamber plans to use technology and digital tools to help these entrepreneurs overcome traditional obstacles. Digital approaches allow round-the-clock operations and better access to financial services and new markets.
