The high-level forum has brought together heads of state, government officials, global investors, and technology experts to deliberate on strategies for driving growth through innovation and improved governance.
Held under the patronage of Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema, President of Gabon, the event is on the theme “Political Stability, Business Climate, and Artificial Intelligence: Catalysts for Growth.”
A statement issued by Felix Kwakye Ofosu, Minister for Government Communications explained that the forum is aimed at positioning Gabon as a regional hub for innovation and a key destination for international investment.
