He made the remarks when officials from Dodo Technologies Limited, a Ghanaian AI and communication technology company, briefed him on preparations for the upcoming Dodo Summit 2025, set for December 10, 2025, at the UPSA Auditorium.
The Minister commended Dodo Technologies for developing indigenous digital tools to address communication challenges across sectors. He also directed the company to collaborate with the Ministry’s Director of Innovations, Emmanuel Ofori, for a technical assessment and a potential pilot of its system within the public sector.
He said empowering local innovators aligns with the government’s vision to build a self-reliant and inclusive digital economy, founded on data sovereignty, innovation, and digital governance.

According to him, the technology was developed entirely in Ghana, reflecting the country’s growing capacity for technological excellence. He added that the Dodo Summit 2025, themed “The End of Fragmented Communication,” will bring together policymakers, private sector leaders, innovators, and technology enthusiasts to explore AI policy, digital governance, and the future of communication in Africa.
