THE Chief of Staff, Mr Julius Debrah, has called for a stronger partnership between government, the private sector, and innovators to accelerate Africa’s digital transformation as well as strengthen the continent’s technological sovereignty.
In a speech read on his behalf at the 2025 MOBEX Africa Innovation Awards held in Accra on Friday, Mr Debrah said Africa has a real opportunity to redefine its future through technology, collaboration, and bold thinking.
The event, which also marked the 10th anniversary of MOBEX Africa, gathered policymakers, industry leaders, and innovators to celebrate a decade of advancing digital innovation on the continent.
The Chief of Staff described the theme for this year’s conference — “Resetting Africa’s Digital Identity and Sovereignty” — as ambitious but achievable, noting that the continent’s renewed focus on technology provides a foundation for progress.
He stressed that Africa’s transformation required not just ideas but coordinated action and sustained partnership. Mr Debrah said Africa could chart a similar path by investing in critical infrastructure, industrial expansion, and human capital.
“No take-off is truly possible without the right infrastructure,” he said, adding that both physical infrastructure like roads, ports, and railways, and social infrastructure such as education and health, remain the foundation for progress.
