The Automobile Assemblers Association of Ghana will host its maiden Automotive Summit on the 20th of March 2023, at the Accra International Conference Centre (AICC) Grand Arena.
The theme for the summit, ‘Creating a New Economic Backbone for Ghana and the Sub-Region’, will present an opportunity for leading experts and industry professionals in the sector to discuss latest trends, challenges and opportunities in the automobile industry.
The summit will concurrently run along with an exhibition of over 20 vehicle models locally assembled in Ghana by members of the AAAG.
“We are delighted to host this maiden summit, which will explore the automobile industry’s future and the technologies and innovations that will shape it. This will provide us an opportunity as a country to discuss the issues and opportunities impacting businesses and the automobile industry as a whole,” AAAG president, Mr. Jeffrey Oppong Peprah, emphasised.
