Speaking further at the launch, Mr De-Graft Egyir noted the Ghana CEO Summit is a public-private sector platform and emphasised the need for the private sector to involve the public sector.
“For the first time, we are doing the State-Owned Enterprises CEOs panel to see how AI transformation and other ideas will help these public sector institutions to transform.”
