Team Ghana, represented by innovators from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), has won four awards at the 2025 Next Generation Digital Action Tech Summit held in Copenhagen, Denmark.

The summit gathered emerging digital innovators from across the world to present technology solutions addressing public service delivery, health, transparency, agriculture and sustainability.

The Ghana delegation was coordinated by the Technology Consultancy Centre – Centre for Innovation, Manufacturing, Engineering and Technology Transfer (TCC-CIMET) at KNUST, led by Professor Alexander Boakye Marful, Director of Business Development and Sustainability at TCC-CIMET, and Dr. Oliver Kornyo, Senior Lecturer in Computer Science.

The delegation received support from the Danish Embassy in Ghana, the Ghana Statistical Service, and DTU Skylab, as part of ongoing collaboration to strengthen Ghana’s digital innovation ecosystem.

Among the award winners was the Kenya Track Team, led by Henry Kofi Danso, whose digital aflatoxin tracing solution for agricultural produce received the National Best Award.

The Ghana Track Team, led by Elisha Soglo-Ahianyo, earned an Acceleration Award for a platform that uses large language models to make Ghana’s parliamentary Hansards more accessible to citizens.

A second Acceleration Award went to the Colombia Track Team, led by Amma Agyemang Opoku, for a public procurement transparency platform.

Team Maternity Connect, led by Cephas Abbey and Umuhairu Alhassan, received the Impact Award in the Young Entrepreneurs category for a maternal health monitoring and advisory system.

Professor Marful said the achievements show how institutional networks in Ghana are helping young innovators scale their impact.

“These young innovators are redefining African innovation. They are problem-solvers with global relevance,” he said.

The Embassy of Ghana in Denmark also provided support to the delegation during the summit.
