*Ghana Internet and Mobile Entrepreneurs Forum (GIMEF) 2010*


The PearlRichards Foundation and the 2010 MBA MIS Class of the University of
Ghana Business School, Ghana, are organizing a one day forum on Internet and
mobile entrepreneurship in Ghana. The forum seeks to showcase the innovative
use of new media – internet and mobiles – by entrepreneurs to address the
socio-economic and development challenges in Ghana. This year’s theme
is “*Building
Ghana through Internet Enterprises and Mobile Innovations*. The forum has
two interrelated objectives, namely:

   1. To offer participants an opportunity to share, discuss and learn from
   individual career experiences and profiles of Ghanaian Internet and Mobile
   entrepreneurs.
   2. To educate participants on how to use Internet and mobile resources
   and applications to support and promote their creative ventures.



The forum will take place on November 5, 2010 at the University of Ghana
Business School. GIMEF 2010 will encourage open minds, critical thinking,
self-examination, creativity, and sharing ideas. Technology entrepreneurs
presenting at the forum include: Excelle Ghana, Silky Productions, Mobile
Content Ghana, Txt Ghana, Funeralsinghana and LocateMe Ghana. Visit TESS

The forum is a pre-conference towards the Africa Internet and Mobile
Entrepreneurs Conference in Uganda, December 10 (www.afiec.com). GIMEF and
AFRIEC are both events organized by the Technology Entrepreneurs Seminar
Series (TESS Africa www.tessafrica.org). TESS aims at inspiring African
Youth and Graduates into Technology Entrepreneurship and it is supported by
the PearlRichards Foundation (www.pearlrichards.org), PC Tech Magazine (
