The Publication

Me Firi Ghana produces the “Future of Ghana,” publication, which celebrates excellence by recognising the Top 30 under 30 talent of Ghanaian descent who are pioneering in industries around the world. The publication also features forward-thinking articles highlighting key industries, innovators and organizations’ visions for Ghana and Africa.

The nomination process for the top 30 began November 2nd and closed on 13 December 2015. Our esteemed judging panel consisted of Lorraine Wright (founder of UGCY UK & Ghana), Isaac Babu-Boateng (founder/CEO of Face2Face Africa), Adrien Sauvage (creative director of A.Sauvage Fashion House), Ethel Cofie  (CEO of EDL Technology Consulting), and Emmanuel Edudzie (executive director YES Ghana). Their selection of the top 30 was based on supporting evidence provided by nominators and the guiding nomination criteria made public at the start of the campaign.
