The
Association of Ghana Industries (AGI) is partnering the Multimedia Group
Limited to host the “Indutech 2013 Kumasi, the 1st International
Trade Fair in the Ashanti regional capital.
Over
100 exhibitors from Ghana and the West African sub-region are expected to
partake in the event holding between March 27 and April 1 at the Kumasi
Cultural Centre.
Ashanti
and Brong Ahafo Regional Chairman of AGI, Robert Kwakye Nketia, said the garment,
pharmaceutical, artifact and agro-processing sub-sectors of the manufacturing
industry would be the focus of the Fair.
The
ultimate goal, he noted, is to expose the Ghanaian populace to locally produced
goods and services.
The
“Indutech 2013 Kumasi” has been launched under the theme “Improving Market Share
of Made in Ghana Goods, the Challenges of Access to Markets in a Global
Competitive Market”.
Event
planning committee chair, William Awuku Ahiadormey, anticipates 30,000 visitors
to troop to the fair grounds, from all parts of the country.
He
noted Kumasi is endowed with its nodal position in Ghana Kumasi to serve as the
country’s industrial hub.
“If
we can help Kumasi to have a very vibrant industrial sector with a good market,
we should be solving more of Ghana’s problems. The rural-urban drift that
mainly ends up in Accra would have been reduced if we can develop more
industries in Kumasi because it’s easier reaching Kumasi from any corner of
this country,” stated Mr. Ahiadormey.
The
AGI plans to institute a biannual industrial and technology fair to find
markets for locally manufactured products.
Johnson
Adasi, Director of Industry at the Ministry of Trade and Industry, noted that collaboration
between industry and knowledge-based institutions are critical for global
competitiveness.
According
to him, the implementation of Ghana’s Industrial Policy calls for effective government,
industry academia cooperation.
He
entreated local entrepreneurs to take advantage of the Indutech to build partnerships
that would propel Ghanaian manufacturers to expand for Ghana to be less import
dependent.
