Ghana’s top technology and communications leaders were celebrated at the 7th National Technology and Communications Awards (NTCA), held on Friday, November 7, 2025, at the Accra Marriott Hotel.

Formerly the National Communications Awards, the event has been rebranded to the National Technology and Communications Awards to reflect its broader focus on digital innovation and Ghana’s evolving tech landscape. The shift underscores the country’s growing commitment to building a digitally inclusive economy.

This year’s ceremony, themed “AI-Powered Future: Innovation, Transformation & Impact in Ghana’s Digital Economy,” honoured individuals and institutions driving transformation across ICT, fintech, telecommunications, public service, and emerging digital sectors.

Delivering the keynote address on behalf of the Presidency, Deputy Chief of Staff Nana Oye Bampoe Addo stressed the importance of innovation in national development.

“The future of national progress will be driven by individuals and businesses that adapt and innovate in response to changing times,” she said. “As government works to position Ghana as a hub of technology and innovation, we envision a future where artificial intelligence and human ingenuity work hand in hand to build a sustainable, inclusive nation.”

She applauded all winners for their role in advancing Ghana’s digital agenda and reaffirmed the government’s commitment to strengthening infrastructure, regulation, and capacity-building to deepen ICT adoption.

Event organiser and Group Publisher of Digital Future Magazine, Richmond Anim Damoah, commended this year’s honourees.

“The winners of this year’s awards represent the bold, innovative industry leaders setting new benchmarks for digital excellence in Ghana,” he noted. “Their contributions continue to accelerate the country’s transformation into a digital powerhouse.”

The night also featured a fireside chat with DVLA Chief Executive Julius Neequaye Kotey on “Driving Digital Transformation: Reinventing Public Service through Smart Mobility and Innovation,” highlighting how digital tools are reshaping public service delivery and operational efficiency.
