Ghana’s burgeoning online business community will once again meet in Accra for the 4th Ghana eCommerce Expo and Conference on 23–24 November 2017, under the theme, “Shaping Ghana’s eCommerce Landscape through Innovation, Regulation and Adoption. Together”. This important annual gathering of leading ecommerce retailers, fintechs, digital payment platforms, telcos, digital banks, Internet Service Providers, mobile app developers, cyber security firms and major players in Ghana’s online business space is powered by OML Africa, organizers of high profile corporate events.

According to Paul Asinor, speaking on behalf of the OML Africa, the organizers, “I am very excited about this year as activity in Ghana’s online and digital space has been overwhelming. With almost all banks launching a mobile banking app, government agencies going digital with online payment platforms, Smart Divers Licenses being launched, efforts to acquire national digital addresses, paperless ports, workers being encouraged to receive salaries on cashless platforms, etc, only mean Ghana is getting the right message that the future, especially in business, is online. Ghana has to get its systems in order to take advantage of the $75 billion eCommerce trade value in Africa’s leading economies by 2025 as projected by the McKinsey Global Institute.”
