Technology Communication Minister commits to supporting all Ghanaian tech enterprises

THU, 15 MAY 2025

The Minister for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations, Mr Samuel Nartey George, has affirmed his commitment to supporting all Ghanaian tech enterprises, regardless of their political affiliations.

Speaking at Hubtel’s 20^th anniversary Thanksgiving dinner, he stated, “As Minister, I support any business driving innovation for national development, whether you wear blue, green, or red.”

The Minister praised Hubtel for its extraordinary contributions to Ghana’s digital transformation over the past two decades.

He highlighted the company's journey from a simple SMS-based business tool to a powerhouse of digital commerce solutions, pioneering mobile payments, e-commerce platforms and customer engagement tools.

Recalling his journey with the Hubtel founders, dating back to 2004 during their university days at KNUST, Mr. George shared how their youthful ambition, coupled with resilience and creativity, turned a near-failed campus event into a success story, symbolic of the Hubtel journey itself.

“Even without night flights into Kumasi, they managed to fly in a VIP to perform that night. That same determination has driven Hubtel’s success story. It’s not just a tech company; it’s a legacy of innovation built on Ghanaian soil,” he said.

The Minister noted that their transformation reflects the broader narrative of Ghana’s digital journey, calling the company “a critical leader” in shaping how businesses communicate, transact and grow

Mr. George also called for increased collaboration between educational institutions and the tech industry, particularly praising KNUST for nurturing the next generation of innovators.

He expressed confidence that, with continued support, Ghana is well-positioned to lead in the global digital economy.
