The Ghana Chamber of Young Entrepreneurs (GCYE) has received a valuable contribution to its co-working space initiative through a generous donation of office equipment from Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH.
The donation includes five desktop computers, 15 office desks and chairs, and a printer, all of which will enhance the functionality of the co-working space, launched earlier this year to provide a supportive work environment for young entrepreneurs across Ghana.
This contribution aligns with GIZ’s mission to promote sustainable development and drive innovation among young entrepreneurs. The co-working space, a flagship initiative of GCYE, was created to meet the growing need for affordable, well-equipped workspaces for startups and small businesses, offering young entrepreneurs a collaborative setting to nurture their ventures.
Sarah Rueffler, Head of the AgriBIZ project at GIZ, praised the GCYE leadership for their continued dedication to empowering young entrepreneurs and fostering innovation.
“This donation is part of GIZ’s broader effort to strengthen youth entrepreneurship and create opportunities for sustainable economic growth. We believe the co-working space initiative will serve as a hub for creativity, collaboration, and business development”.

The co-working space initiative has quickly established itself as a vital resource for aspiring entrepreneurs, offering access to essential tools such as high-speed internet, training programs, and mentorship.
These offerings provide a solid foundation for young business owners to develop their skills and grow their ventures.
With the recent donation of state-of-the-art office equipment, the space is now better equipped to accommodate a larger number of users and deliver enhanced services.
This expansion ensures that the co-working space can effectively support the increasing demands of Ghana’s dynamic entrepreneurial ecosystem.
The Ghana Chamber of Young Entrepreneurs (GCYE) expressed that it remains steadfast in its mission to advocate for the success of young entrepreneurs.
By fostering an environment conducive to innovation and business growth, the Chamber continues to support the next generation of leaders and innovators.
GCYE also called on stakeholders, development partners, and the broader community to unite in strengthening Ghana’s entrepreneurial ecosystem and creating more opportunities for young entrepreneurs to thrive.
