In a groundbreaking achievement, Dr. Ramzi Inusah emerged as a pioneering figure in China’s tech landscape.

As the first African tech entrepreneur to establish a foothold in Zhongguancun, widely regarded as China’s Silicon Valley, Inusah is charting a path of innovation and change that extends beyond technology into the socio-political realm of his home country, Ghana.

Dr. Inusah’s remarkable journey is marked by his successful qualification for the prestigious Cirrus Entrepreneurship Competition in Zhongguancun.

This milestone highlights his exceptional entrepreneurial skills and positions him as a trailblazer among African techpreneurs in one of the world’s leading innovation hubs.

In 2019, he appeared at the Alibaba Create Entrepreneurship Competition setting another record as the first African Entrepreneur to compete on that huge entrepreneurial stage against major Chinese startups.

Building on his success, Dr. Inusah founded a tech startup that boasts a post-money valuation of $14 million.

His achievements in the tech industry underscore his expertise and vision, earning him respect and recognition within the global entrepreneurial community.

Beyond his entrepreneurial endeavors, Dr. Inusah is a key figure in the Movement for Change in Ghana.

This movement advocates for significant constitutional reforms aimed at militating the "winner takes all" syndrome prevalent in Ghanaian politics.

Dr. Inusah and his colleagues argue that this syndrome stifles comprehensive national development and perpetuates partisan interests over the common good.

Dr. Inusah echoes the sentiments of Hon. Alan Kyerematen, who emphasizes the necessity for Ghana to adopt a long-term development plan instead of relying on party-specific manifestos.

Such a strategic approach, Dr. Inusah believes, would ensure sustained progress and stability, transcending the short-term goals of successive political parties.

Another critical aspect of Dr. Inusah’s advocacy focuses on enhancing the independence of state institutions to combat corruption effectively.

Corruption, he contends, is a pervasive threat that undermines Ghana’s developmental efforts and erodes public trust in governance.

By fortifying the autonomy and efficacy of these institutions, Ghana can foster a more transparent and accountable governance framework.

Dr. Ramzi Inusah’s dual role as a tech innovator and social reformer exemplifies a holistic approach to national development.

His vision and leadership continue to inspire a new generation of Ghanaian youths committed to creating a prosperous and equitable future for their nation.

As he leads the charge for change, Dr. Inusah remains a testament to the transformative power of entrepreneurship and civic engagement.
