Global Entrepreneurship Festival Details
The Global Entrepreneurship Festival (GEF) is organized by the Global Entrepreneurship Network and aims to connect entrepreneurs, investors and policy-makers. Since its inception, GEF has showcased groundbreaking startups and influential leaders. The 2025 edition in Accra will feature panel discussions, one-on-one mentorship sessions and networking opportunities designed to accelerate high-impact ventures.
Harper will join a distinguished roster of speakers addressing topics such as digital innovation, sustainable development and social impact. His keynote is expected to focus on legacy building, inclusive growth and strategies for equipping underrepresented communities with the tools to thrive in the global economy.
Why Accra?
Ghana’s capital has emerged as a dynamic hub for tech startups and creative industries in West Africa. The government’s investment in infrastructure, coupled with a young, tech-savvy population, makes Accra an ideal setting for GEF’s mission to foster entrepreneurship as a catalyst for social change.
Dr. Harper’s participation highlights the event’s global reach and commitment to diversity. His work—spanning film, literature, law and business—embodies the blend of creativity and leadership that GEF celebrates.
