The Kosmos Innovation Center (KIC) has inaugurated an incubation hub in Tamale to expand its operations and empower the youth.
With support from Feed the Future Ghana Market Systems & Resilience (MSR), a USAID-funded program, KIC has set- up the incubation hub in Tamale to further reach young people and entrepreneurs within 17 districts across 4 out of the 5 Northern Regions of Ghana with capacity building, coaching and program implementation. The MSR project will strengthen commercial relationships between actors, improve the rural entrepreneurship ecosystem, and link targeted policy initiatives to enhance local economic governance.
Speaking at the event, the Executive Director of KIC, Mr. Benjamin Gyan-Kesse, reiterated KIC’s commitment to bring about transformation within the agricultural value chain through its coaching, mentoring, and seed funding support, thereby equipping young people with market readiness skills to be economically empowered and contribute towards development in their communities.
As part of the inauguration ceremony, there was a visit to KIC-supported start-ups, namely Kodu Technologies. Through its partnership with the USAID MSR project, KIC aims to build collaborative alliances towards developing sustainable and viable agricultural value systems.
