Vice-President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has urged the business community in Austria to invest in Ghana where opportunities abound.
Strengthening relations
Digitisation
On digitisation, Dr Bawumia said the country was fast growing a digital economy and so had embraced digital technology in addressing emerging challenges.
He also said the country had the fastest growing mobile money market in Africa where its digitisation agenda was de-risking the business and financial environment.
“We see partnerships in ICT, sustainable finance, forestry, education, knowledge economy and health care that would be established during this mission as catalyst that would enhance opportunities, openness and optimism to underpin our future relationship,” the vice-president added.
A deputy minister of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration, Kwaku Ampratwum Sarpong, also expressed the hope that the forum would enhance the existing economic trade and investment activities between the two countries.
He said the event was an indication of the commitment of the people and governments of Ghana and Austria to further deepen their cooperation.
Sarpong said the forum would not only identify common interests, challenges and innovative approaches to strengthen business relations between the two countries, but also lead to more Austrian businesses being established in Ghana in joint ventures and partnerships with their Ghanaian counterparts.
Increase trade
The Federal Chancellor of Austria, Karl Nehammer, said trade between his country and Ghana had increased significantly over the years.
He, however, called for partnership of equals which, he said, was important for the mutual benefit of the two countries.
Nehammer said Austria was currently working on a strategy on African for which, he said, they would be seeking advice and input from Ghana.
