UN to Visit Ghana, Capital Raising Begins
January 2004
GCG invites a United Nations Advisory Committee on technology parks to visit Ghana in March 2004 to learn more about the country’s budding IT economy and its readiness to host the first
UN-financed technology park in Africa.
This development follows the successful 2003 UN Forum on Science & Technology Parks, hosted in Philadelphia (November 30-December 3, 2003), during which GCG presented a proposal to build
a technology park in Ghana.
GCG solicits funding from Microsoft, Dell, IBM and other U.S. corporations to strengthen the expected UN partnership.
