The key components of the Growing Business Together initiative include a 9-month GBT Academy, the GBT Coaches Program, and the GBT Startup Investment Conference. There is a parallel project for Ghanaians based in the Netherlands who seek to start businesses in Ghana.
Academy Program
The GBT Academy gives entrepreneurs the chance to receive full support to accelerate their business growth. The Academy is a top-up program for the twenty entrepreneurs that have been selected to go through the GBT Program. Next, to one-on-one coaching, the GBT Academy offers participants access to hands-on experience, practical advice, networking, capacity building training sessions and connects businesses to potential partners and investors. By the end of the program (Nine Months), the businesses should be ready to attract investors into their company.
Structure of GBT Academy
The GBT Academy program is structured into key stages, beginning with an intense 3-day full-time boot camp, 7 weeks of capacity-building training sessions, and a one-day start-up investor conference. During the capacity-building training sessions, businesses are assigned to Coaches and Business Development Associates who help them to implement the knowledge gained. Networking events are organized as part of the Academy program. MBC Africa, a leading business accelerator working across Ghana, is running the GBT Academy. Growing Business Together (GBT) has been set up to help start-ups in Ghana to overcome major hurdles.
