Ghana’s Innovation Bill Aims to Boost Gender Inclusivity and Support Women-Led Startups in Tech
- Ghana is deliberating the Innovation and Startups Bill to foster gender inclusivity in tech.
- The bill aims to provide tax incentives and easier access to funding for startups.
- Only 44% of local MSMEs in Ghana are owned by women, highlighting the need for support.
The Innovation and Startups Bill represents a significant opportunity for Ghana to enhance its entrepreneurial ecosystem, particularly for women in tech. However, the success of this initiative will depend on rigorous implementation and accountability measures to ensure that the intended benefits are realized. A proactive approach to gender inclusivity in tech can lead to greater innovation and economic growth.
