Innovation & Entrepreneurship
Mentorship, incubation and access to funding for early-stage founders and small businesses in the Western Region.
Innovation. Skills. Opportunity.
Ahanta Tech Lab is a technology and innovation hub in Agona Nkwanta. We are bringing an underused public library and ICT lab back into service as a place to learn digital skills, start a business and build a professional network.
What we do
Four strands of work
Training that matches what employers hire for, support for the ventures that come out of it, and a network that keeps both moving.
Digital Skills Training
Hands-on training in software development, cybersecurity, data analytics, cloud computing and digital marketing.
Tech & Business Networking
Structured opportunities for innovators, investors and industry professionals to meet and work together.
Research & Development
Applied innovation in agritech, renewable energy and AI-driven solutions relevant to the region.
Our goals
What we're working toward
Ahanta Tech Lab is at the start of its work. These are the targets the Lab is building capacity to reach.
500+
young adults trained annually
in digital, entrepreneurial and innovation skills
100+
participants placed annually
into jobs or internships through partner companies
20+
new ventures supported per year
through a startup incubation programme
Ongoing
mentorship and networking
for entrepreneurs and job seekers across the region
These are the targets Ahanta Tech Lab is working toward. They are not results achieved to date.
Why here
Not built from scratch. Brought back into use.
Agona Nkwanta already has a library and ICT lab. It was built to serve schools without their own computer access, and for years it did. Then the funding, the training and the equipment stopped keeping pace, and the building went quiet.
Reviving a facility that already exists is faster and cheaper than starting again, and it puts the Lab where people already know to look. With targeted investment, that space becomes a working centre for digital skills training, business incubation and professional networking.
