In a surprising move, executives of the Jospong Group have announced the launch of the Joseph Siaw Jospong Foundation, a new initiative aimed at empowering young entrepreneurs. The foundation has been seeded with GH¢500,000 to help foster the growth and development of the next generation of business leaders in Ghana.
Remarkably, the creation of the foundation was done without the knowledge of Executive Chairman Dr. Joseph Siaw Agyepong, as a tribute to his immense influence on the lives of many Ghanaians. This gesture is a testament to Dr. Agyepong’s legacy and the profound impact he has had on business and entrepreneurship in the country.
The official announcement was made during the 2025 Jospong Leadership Conference, held at the Pentecost Convention Centre in Gomoa, Central Region. The conference, which was centered around the theme “Transformation through Leadership,” provided a platform for discussing how leadership can drive positive change in Ghana.
The Joseph Siaw Jospong Foundation aims to extend Dr. Agyepong's influence by supporting and mentoring young entrepreneurs, helping them navigate the challenges of starting and growing successful businesses. This initiative is aligned with the Jospong Group’s ongoing commitment to giving back to the community and nurturing future leaders.
In a heartfelt moment, the executives also presented Dr. Agyepong with a painting of the Adjepong family, symbolizing the deep respect and appreciation they hold for his leadership and contributions.
Dr. Agyepong, a renowned entrepreneur, has built a business empire with over 60 companies spanning various sectors, including waste management, ICT, and banking. His leadership and dedication to creating sustainable businesses continue to inspire countless individuals across Ghana.
The establishment of the Joseph Siaw Jospong Foundation marks an exciting new chapter in Dr. Agyepong’s efforts to support and mentor young entrepreneurs, further cementing his legacy as a champion of entrepreneurship and economic growth in Ghana.
