John Dramani Mahama has arrived in Libreville, Gabon, to participate in the inaugural Libreville International Forum for Innovation and Development, a high-level gathering of global leaders and investors.
The event brings together heads of state, policymakers, and technology experts to explore pathways for economic transformation through innovation.
Held under the patronage of Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema, the forum is themed “Political Stability, Business Climate, and Artificial Intelligence: Catalysts for Growth.”
Organisers say the initiative aims to position Gabon as a regional hub for innovation and a key destination for international investment. The event also marks the inauguration of the Omar Bongo Ondimba Congress Centre, which will host future global engagements.
Toward a Continental Commitment
The forum is expected to conclude with the adoption of the Libreville Declaration, outlining commitments by African leaders to strengthen governance, transparency, and digital integration.
A statement from the presidency noted that the platform will “showcase strategic political leaders’ commitments” to advancing development across the continent.
President Mahama is expected to use the forum to promote stronger collaboration between governments and the private sector.
His participation reflects Ghana’s broader commitment to fostering innovation-driven growth and building partnerships that support inclusive and sustainable development across Africa.
