Edmund Acheampong, Country Director, Siemens Ghana
SIEMENS GHANA has indicated it is prepared to invest more into Ghana’s economy.
Country Director of Siemens Ghana, Edmund Acheampong, who was speaking at the 3rd Ghana Customer Day in Accra, said his outfit’s contributions in the last three years had gone past investment to aiding science and technology institutions.
The event, themed: “Technology as a catalyst for business and economic development,” saw Siemens exhibiting its technology across the energy, oil and gas, transportation, power generation and transmission spectrum, to customers as well as potential customers.
It further provided opportunity for customers to discuss certain pertinent issues around technology and economic development.
Mr Acheampong said Siemens Ghana had helped to empower young and prospective engineers with the establishment of a Siemens automation laboratory at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST).
“Just last month, July 2019 Siemens handed over the refurbished ICT laboratory, fitted with 45 new computers to the Sekondi College,” he said, adding that it would afford students the opportunity to get practical knowledge.
He said Siemens has cutting edge technology and solutions for the world, Africa and for Ghana.
He said leveraging digital technology with electrification and automation domain could help build a more resilient country.
Mr Acheampong said Siemens’ data visualisation project – FABRIC – which was launched during the German Africa Business Summit in Accra in February this year demonstrated the importance of data in transforming Africa’s urban centres into smart cities of the future.
