Nana Kwame Bediako, the head of The New Force Movement, has emphasized the importance of industry as a requirement for successful digitalization in Ghana.
Mr. Bediako maintained that without industrialization, digitization would be impossible.
Speaking at his campaign launch on Sunday, September 1, he also presented alternatives to NPP Flagbearer Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s digitisation program, which sees a “Digital Ghana” prepared for the global digital revolution.
Mr Bediako demonstrated plans to establish more data centers across the country to support a growing technology hub, which he believes will propel Ghana’s technological growth.
He stated that these data centers would empower Ghana to control information technology both locally and beyond.
“We aim to position ourselves as leaders in the global crypto farming industry. Our data centers will mine digital coins, engage in tokenisation, and mint coins, tapping into a multi-trillion-dollar industry. This will make Ghana the gateway to Africa’s Web3 industry in Africa,” he explained.
He also highlighted the strategic role these data centers would play in supporting Artificial Intelligence (AI) and deep learning initiatives, emphasising that energy and industrialization are crucial to technological progress.
“This technology hub is going to put us ahead, we envision that Ghana leads a software and hardware revolution in Africa.
“We need data centres to even support our Artificial Intelligence and deep learning. It is obvious that no energy, no technology. That said, without industrialisation, there would be no digitasation. It will be impossible.”
