Ghana’s Minister for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations, Samuel Nartey George, has arrived in Qatar to participate in the Mobile World Congress (MWC) Doha 2026. The three-day event, which commenced on November 8, 2026, serves as a high-level platform for Ghana to showcase its digital transformation agenda and forge new international alliances. Hosted by the GSMA in collaboration with Qatar’s Ministry of Communications, the congress brings together global policy-makers and industry leaders to shape the future of connectivity and emerging technologies.
During the opening sessions, the Minister participated in the Digital Leadership Forum and the GSMA Ministerial Programme. These forums are designed to facilitate high-level dialogue on telecommunications opportunities and the governance of digital infrastructure. Mr. George's participation underscores Ghana's strategic focus on integrating into the global digital economy and ensuring that the country's technological growth remains sustainable and aligned with international standards.
A central component of the Minister’s itinerary includes targeted bilateral discussions aimed at harmonising digital policies. Mr. George held meetings with his counterparts from Kenya and the Bahamas to explore collaborative frameworks for digital governance. These talks focused on sharing best practices in telecommunications regulation and identifying mutual areas of interest in the expansion of digital services across their respective regions.
The participation of Ghana at MWC Doha 2026 is part of a broader effort to enhance the country’s influence in global digital initiatives. By engaging with international partners and private sector experts, the Ministry aims to attract technological investment and adopt innovative governance models. As the congress continues, the Ghanaian delegation is expected to attend further ministerial discussions to advance the nation's objective of becoming a leading digital hub in West Africa.
