Ghana Digital Centers Limited (GDCL) CEO Kwadwo Baah Agyemang has visited the Ericsson headquarters in Stockholm.

Joined by other members of its board with some officials from the Communication Ministry, they visited to familiarise themselves with their activities and to also explore business avenues between the two outfits.

The investment promotion mission to Finland, Denmark and Sweden will create an avenue for Ghana’s delegation to showcase the country’s vast business potential and pursue opportunities for bilateral trade and investments.

The Ghana delegation met and networked with senior government officials, captains of industry, and potential investors in the three countries.  

Delegates were offered the opportunity to pitch bankable projects to potentially yield partnerships and investments in their respective countries.

Speaking to the media after the meeting with Ericsson, Mr Baah Agyemang remarked that ‘our meeting was to see how Ericsson can work with the digital centre redevelopment project.

This project, he revealed will commence in November to see the state-of-the-art innovation centre being sponsored by MTN’.

On his part, Mikael Halen, Government and Industry Relations Manager-Ericsson said his outfit welcomes the delegation and the potential to build partnerships.

During a PowerPoint presentation, the Ericsson representative took the Ghanaian officials through the projects and projections of Ericsson.

He hoped that the prospects emanating from their discussion with the Ghanaian delegation, especially from GDCL would yield benefits for the two outfits.

Ericsson's contribution to Ghana started in 1996 via a liaison office before the company was formally registered as Ericsson AB Ghana Branch in January 2008.

The current employee headcount for Ericsson Ghana is 78.
