Pro€Invest, the Ghana Free Zone Board and West Africa Business Association (WABA) cordially invite you to register for a seminar and one-to-one business meetings on outsourcing ICT, data and business processing services to Ghana. The event is by invitation only and selected companies will be able to attend free of charge.

The seminar will take place in London on Tuesday 28 June, with the full support of the Ghana High Commission in the UK. On both Tuesday 28 and Wednesday 29 June, there will be an opportunity for one-to-one meetings with representatives from 15 Ghanaian companies providing ICT and business processing services, including:
 

  
  • Data Entry & Processing
  • Contact/Call Centre Operations
  • Computer Software Development
  • Telecommunication & Computer Hardware Assembly
  • Internet/Computer Aided Money Transfer Services

Ghana's low cost of living, stable democratic government and literate, English-speaking population make it well-suited as a new outsourcing location. Combined with a talented, low cost labour pool, Ghana's rapidly developing ICT infrastructure makes it an emerging viable alternative in the global outsourcing market. For UK companies, the fact that Ghana is in the same time zone and that English is the official language are both attractive features.

For those involved in business process and ICT outsourcing, as well as those providing technology transfer and investment to developing nations, this is an excellent opportunity to learn more about Ghana as a business location, to explore the investment potential, and to establish relations with some of the country's developing ICT and BPO providers.
 

  
  • This event will be of particular interest to:
  • Firms in the financial services sector and other companies with large customer bases to support: learn about a potential new location for your customer support functions
  • Existing call centres and background processing operators: explore Ghana as an alternative and cheaper location for your present or future operations.
  • UK technology suppliers of ICT equipment, software and training: find out about Ghana's investment potential, including opportunities for joint ventures

Places are strictly limited, so we invite you to register as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. To secure your place at this event, please contact:
