Speaking on the significance of the forum, Emma Wenani, Chief Director of Global Media Alliance, stated, “This forum marks a pivotal moment for Ghana’s beverage industry. As we seek to position our brands better on the global stage, we must provide businesses with the right tools, insights, and networks to compete effectively.
