On his part, the chairman of Kludjeson International Limited, Dr Prince Kofi Kludjeson said the major challenge confronting the development of entrepreneurs in the country was the absence of strong equity laws.
He explained that with a proper equity law in place, Ghanaians could leverage it to develop themselves and take over the commanding height of business.
“We need to have a conversation around what type of equity arrangement that works for us and then we can take advantage of it to develop our country,” he said.
Dr Kludjeson commended the organisers for the initiative and described it as one of the greatest things to happen for entrepreneurs in the country.
He therefore, called on Ghanaians to take advantage of the summit and network to their advantage.
