Organisers of the second edition of the Ghana AI Summit & Awards have announced that nominations for the Ghana AI Awards 2026 will close on June 15, urging innovators, organisations and institutions to submit their entries before the deadline.
The awards form part of the 2nd Ghana AI Summit & Awards 2026, scheduled to take place from July 29 to 30, 2026, and aim to recognise excellence, innovation and impact in the field of artificial intelligence across Ghana.
The event follows the successful inaugural Ghana AI Summit in 2025, during which six organisations and three individuals were honoured for their contributions to advancing artificial intelligence in the country.
This year’s awards will recognise outstanding achievements in eight categories: AI Personality of the Year, Most Promising AI Idea of the Year, Best AI for Social Good Award, Best AI Services Solution Provider, Best AI Startup of the Year, Best AI Innovation of the Year, Best AI Company of the Year and Best AI Public Service of the Year.
Speaking ahead of the event, Charles Yeboah, AI Awards Assurance Consultant at Deloitte Ghana, described the awards as a key platform for driving innovation within the country’s growing AI ecosystem.
“The Ghana AI Awards is more than a recognition platform; it is a catalyst for innovation, celebrating excellence, rewarding pioneers, and strengthening the ecosystem that will shape Ghana’s AI-driven future,” he said.
The 2026 summit will be held under the theme: “Artificial Intelligence for Economic Growth and Job Creation: Innovation, Inclusion and Future Jobs.”
Organisers say the event will bring together stakeholders from government, academia, industry, startups and civil society to explore how artificial intelligence can contribute to sustainable development, economic transformation and job creation.
Nominations are open to individuals, organisations and institutions across various sectors, with participation free of charge.
According to the organisers, all submissions will undergo a rigorous assessment process based on innovation, impact, scalability and overall contribution to Ghana’s artificial intelligence ecosystem.
The summit is expected to provide a platform for showcasing groundbreaking AI solutions while fostering collaboration among key actors driving the country’s digital transformation agenda.
Interested applicants have been encouraged to submit their entries through the official nomination portal before the June 15 deadline.
