Entrepreneurs network committed to driving economic growth — President
A network of entrepreneurs in Ghana, the Stanford Seed Transformation Network (SSTN) Ghana Chapter, has expressed its commitment to driving economic growth, fostering innovation, and creating sustainable opportunities for Ghanaians.
It said it was ready to strongly collaborate with the government to address pressing economic challenges, drive innovation, and build an enabling environment for businesses to thrive.
The SSTN Ghana Chapter is part of the broader Stanford Seed initiative, which is dedicated to building resilient and innovative businesses that empower economies in emerging markets.
At the network’s annual dinner, the President of the SSTN, Prince Koblah Arkutu, outlined the network’s ambitious plans for the 2025-2026 term and pledged support for the newly elected government in its efforts to reset Ghana’s economy.
"As Ghana seeks to reset its economy, SSTN Ghana is uniquely positioned to play a pivotal role. Our members are creating jobs, adopting transformative business practices, and contributing to the national tax base.
“We are ready to partner the government, offering practical insights and solutions informed by our diverse experiences and deep commitment to the country's progress," Mr Arkutu stated.
He said the SSTN was more than a gathering of business leaders, but “a collective of indigenous Ghanaian entrepreneurs committed to scaling our businesses, creating jobs, and contributing to the national development agenda through the taxes we generate and the lives we touch”.

The network also announced the election of new executives for the 2025-2026 term. The team is led by the President, Mr Arkutu, William Halm as Vice-President, Esther Kesewa Ayisi Aywireng as Secretary with Hanetta Hayford, Elloeny Amande, and Godwin Doagbodzi as executives.
The other executives include Coby Asmah, Doris Ankama Asamoah, Harry Baskmaty, Senyo Atiase, Theresa Ayoade, Emmanuel Ntim, Nana Yaw Asante, Shaibu Ali and Ronald Tagoe.
