Over 200 students, chaperones, judges, partners, and other stakeholders are expected to attend this year’s event, themed “Breaking Barriers” in a bid to become a catalyst for young people to discover Africa’s greatest challenges and develop solutions. 

Students from 15 senior high schools across the country will present innovative business ideas in the areas of agribusiness, water, sanitation & hygiene (WASH), climate change & renewable energy, and health technology.

The winners will take home a GHS 15,000 cash prize and other amazing awards from sponsors. They will also represent Ghana at the 2023 JA Africa COY competition in Kigali, Rwanda, in December where they will compete against students from 12 other African countries. They will have the opportunity to win cash prizes, awards, and a ticket to compete on the world stage.
