The leader of The New Force Movement, Nana Kwame Bediako, has underscored the necessity of industrialisation as a prerequisite for successful digitisation in Ghana.
Mr Bediako argued that without industrialisation, achieving digitisation would be impossible.
Speaking during his campaign launch on Sunday, September 1, he also proposed alternatives to the digitisation agenda led by NPP Flagbearer Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, who envisions a "Digital Ghana" ready for the global digital revolution.
Mr Bediako announced plans to build more data centers across the country to support a burgeoning technology hub, which he believes will drive Ghana's technological advancement.
He stated that these data centers would empower Ghana to control information technology both locally and beyond.
"We aim to position ourselves as leaders in the global crypto farming industry. Our data centers will mine digital coins, engage in tokenisation, and mint coins, tapping into a multi-trillion-dollar industry. This will make Ghana the gateway to Africa's Web3 industry in Africa," he explained.
He also highlighted the strategic role these data centers would play in supporting Artificial Intelligence (AI) and deep learning initiatives, emphasising that energy and industrialization are crucial to technological progress.
“This technology hub is going to put us ahead, we envision that Ghana leads a software and hardware revolution in Africa.
“We need data centres to even support our Artificial Intelligence and deep learning. It is obvious that no energy, no technology. That said, without industrialisation, there would be no digitasation. It will be impossible.”
