Mrs. Sackey said she was driving home businesses, trade, tourism, agriculture and educational opportunities for the capital.
The Accra MCE called on businesses to take advantage of the opportunities presented to them by the conference to find market for their products, especially the Ghanaian produce.
She emphasised that President Akufo- Addo’s vision of making Ghana Beyond Aid could only be achieved through exports of Ghana made products to the world and Latin America which were still a fresh business zone for many opportunities for the Ghanaian businesses.
