Ehi Binitie Clearspace Labs: In this series, business leaders and innovators from the Ghanaian and African Diaspora / Black Business Community talk about the future of doing business in Africa and across the Diaspora community.
In this episode, Ehi talks to Amma Gyampo, Co-Founder ScaleUp Africa about his work deploying emergent technologies to achieve global impact and doubling down on values in times of uncertainty.
He also makes the case for applications of basic services deployed via high-tech solutions for the mass markets and essential services needs of the African population. The smartphone moved from being a luxury device to an essential device. B2B tech interventions will make an immense difference at a fundamental level if the target problem is clearly defined. The knock on effect will be on the consumer.
AI: All the major telcos are already using AI for customer service, sales, healthcare in Africa. AI is also being deployed for back office processes. For SMEs, AI presents and entrepreneurial and efficiency opportunity.

ScaleUp Africa Ecosystem Conversations - IGNITE Insights with Izzy Obeng, Foundervine UK
Izzy runs a uk based training consultancy building high impact training and start up ecosystem support programs to help people from diverse backgrounds to start and scale their businesses.
She compares the UK and Ghana ecosystems, notes how chronically underfunded entrepreneurship ecosystem support organisations are and also cites the role of larger companies in terms of capacity building, investing as well as reaping the benefits of loyalty and stronger local suppy chains. ''Corporates need to leverage their talent and step away from vanity metrics by working with academia and SMEs as strategic procurement and growth partners.''
Large mulitnational corporations can work with ScaleUp Africa to improve their supply chain outcomes in terms of diversity, ESG and access to innovation.
