Ghana’s Minister for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations, Sam Nartey George, has joined global telecommunications executives, policymakers, and industry stakeholders at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) Doha 2026 in Qatar, as the country steps up efforts to build international partnerships and accelerate its digital transformation agenda.
The opening ceremony, held at the Doha Exhibition and Convention Centre (DECC) on Sunday, 8th November 2026, was organised by the Global System for Mobile Communications Association (GSMA) in partnership with Qatar’s Ministry of Communications and Information Technology to mark the start of the three-day international gathering.
MWC Doha serves as a major platform for key players across the global technology ecosystem to deliberate on emerging technologies, global connectivity, digital innovation, and the future of the digital economy.
During the event’s initial proceedings, Mr George took part in the Digital Leadership Forum, an industry panel focused on emerging trends in the telecommunications sector. He also joined the GSMA Ministerial Programme, a high-level dialogue featuring ministers, heads of delegation, and international leaders examining the future of global connectivity.
The Ningo-Prampram lawmaker is slated to join the State of Qatar Ministerial Roundtable, where ministers and senior representatives will deliberate on strategies for leveraging digital transformation to foster inclusive, sustainable, and resilient economic futures.
Ghana’s participation at the congress aims to provide a platform for consolidating bilateral ties and forging strategic partnerships with foreign governments and multilateral institutions.
As part of his official itinerary, the minister is holding bilateral meetings with counterparts from the Bahamas and Kenya to discuss mutual interests, policy harmonisation, and strategic support for international candidacies. These engagements reflect Ghana’s broader push to deepen international cooperation and advance its interests within global digital governance frameworks.
Mr George is also participating in an informal consultative meeting of Heads of Delegation prior to formal proceedings, alongside attending the Commonwealth Evening Reception hosted by the Commonwealth Telecommunications Organisation (CTO).
His presence at MWC Doha 2026 highlights Ghana’s continued commitment to international collaboration, digital innovation, and the rollout of policies designed to expand connectivity and create sustainable opportunities for citizens and businesses alike.
