The event according to Frederick Atta Agyei, CEO of ARIDCORP, has placed Ghana on the map to attract investors and developers to join in the vision of building the Akuapem Ridge Eco-City in Ghana. 

Akuapem Ridge Eco-City is a new visionary model for the development of off-grid, integrated and resilient eco-villages that can power and feed self-reliant families around the world.

The concept has a holistic approach and combines a variety of innovative technologies, such as energy positive homes, renewable energy, energy storage, door-step high-yield organic food production, vertical farming aquaponics/aeroponics, water management and waste-to-resource systems.

With the integration of such technologies, Akuapem Ridge Eco-city holds a potential in changing some of the challenges of a growing population, increasing urbanization, scarcity of resources, the growing global food crisis. 

The technology also reduces the global CO2 emission and the burdens on municipal and national governments in dynamically changing planetary and economic times.
