The Trade and Economic Mission to Ghana is excited to expand its focus and expertise into the Communications sector, bringing many exciting Israeli connectivity solutions and partnership opportunities to the local market. These connectivity technologies have the potential to provide great solutions to a variety of communications needs in Ghana and the region.
This broadened focus was kicked off with a first live virtual event titled ‘Smart Connectivity Solutions for Good’. The event included a discussion on pertinent challenges in spectrum technologies and connectivity delivery, presentations on a variety of Israeli technologies with the potential and capacity to address identified challenges in innovative ways, and facilitation of B2B’s in order to further explore the many partnerships opportunities in this sector.
With over 40 high-level participants representing major Ghanaian and Nigerian telcos, ISPs, integrators; and some top Israeli companies such as Amdocs, Gilat Telecom, Compira Labs, and Fibernet, the event proved to be a successful kickoff, to what is just the beginning of the Mission’s activity to promote opportunities in the communications sector.
Through the event, several channels of now-ongoing communication between the Israeli and local companies have been opened. Just as importantly, the Israeli companies were exposed to the local needs, met great potential local partners, and demonstrated their keen interest and willingness to enter into the Ghanaian and Nigerian markets and explore local solutions with existing players.
The Israeli companies that presented in the event included high-density fiber optic solutions, network hardware and related accessories, solutions for automation and integration of the billing processes for fully managed services suites, solutions for optimization of OTT delivery and UCaaS, Cloud-based VAS, and related services.
For further information on any of these companies, or to explore other solutions and possibilities in the communications and connectivity space, please contact Mr. Edwin Acquah, our lead on this exciting sector.
