Samuel Nartey George, Ghana’s Minister for Communications, Digital Technology and Innovations, has held talks with AlphaVecta Technologies Limited about a new partnership for the One Vecta Summit 2026, which is expected to take place in September in Accra.
The meeting included a delegation led by AlphaVecta Chief Executive Officer Carlos Amoako. During the discussions, the company formally asked George to serve as chair and continental patron of the summit.
Organisers say the event will bring together government ministers, regulators, investors, and technology leaders from across Africa. The summit is expected to focus on artificial intelligence adoption, digital transformation, and cooperation between African countries on technology policy and innovation.
During the talks, George stressed that Ghana wants to move beyond simply hosting AI discussions and instead become a country that builds the systems needed to support AI development. He revealed that Ghana’s Cabinet has approved a $250 million investment for a national AI compute centre.
According to the minister, the centre will support AI research, development, and deployment in important sectors such as agriculture, healthcare, education, and financial services. The facility is also expected to support neighbouring countries in the region.
George also highlighted Ghana’s growing role in technology diplomacy across Africa. He pointed to ongoing discussions with Zambia and Malawi to export digital systems, including national identity technology.
He instructed technical teams to continue discussions with AlphaVecta in areas connected to Ghana’s national priorities, including healthcare, education, financial inclusion, e-governance, and digital infrastructure.
The One Vecta Summit follows earlier AI events organised by AlphaVecta in Ghana. In September 2025, the company partnered with the Ministry of Communication, Digital Technology and Innovation to host the first Pan African AI Summit in Accra.
That summit attracted around 1,000 participants and more than 43 speakers from over 30 countries. It also led to the announcement of a $1 billion Ghana-United Arab Emirates Innovation and Technology Hub planned for construction in Ningo Prampram.
Africa’s AI industry is expected to grow rapidly in the coming years. The market is projected to increase from $4.51 billion in 2025 to $16.53 billion by 2030, driven by an annual growth rate of 27.42 percent.
Carlos Amoako said the One Vecta Summit will focus on turning AI discussions into real action. According to him, the event aims to deliver practical outcomes such as investment partnerships, regulatory frameworks, and clear plans for deploying AI technologies across Africa.
