Mahama Credits Julius Debrah for Kwahu Business Forum Concept
In a revealing address at the 2025 edition of the Kwahu Business Forum, President John Dramani Mahama shared the genesis of this esteemed initiative, designed to catalyze economic growth and empower Ghanaian entrepreneurs.
According to President Mahama, the conceptualization of the Kwahu Business Forum is attributed to his close associate, Julius Debrah.
“While planning the trip, my friend and co-conspirator, the Honourable Julius Debrah, formulated the idea that as part of attending the celebrations, we should organise a forum,” President Mahama disclosed.
“This would serve as a platform for me to explain my economic policies and how they would assist business people in transforming and growing their businesses.”
The idea resonated profoundly with the business community, culminating in the birth of the Kwahu Business Forum. This flagship event has since become a pivotal platform for engaging stakeholders, deliberating policy interventions, and exploring strategies to bolster Ghana’s business landscape.
Under President Mahama’s vision, the Kwahu Business Forum has evolved into a cornerstone event that convenes industry leaders, policymakers, and entrepreneurs to chart a course for Ghana’s economic prosperity. The announcement of a venture fund to support youth and women entrepreneurs further underscores the administration’s commitment to fostering inclusive economic growth.
