The moment of graduating, virtually, for the FI Accra Founders

How did they manage it, while dealing with additional challenges the pandemic threw their way?

Through resilience, hustle, commitment, hard-work, and an amazing team of mentors, stakeholders, partners, and the FI Accra team.

Thanks to our grad Keynote speakers Dzigbordi (Gee-Bor-Dee) Kwaku-Dosoo and Nelson Amo who spoke to them on the theme of Resilient Global Entrepreneurs, and we were glad FIs regional manager Chukwuemeka
