Ghana Russia Centre signs ICT cooperation agreement with Moscow University
The Ghana Russia Centre for Commerce and Relations has signed a cooperation agreement with the Moscow Technical University of Communications and Informatics (MTUCI) to explore partnerships in digital technology, education and professional development.
The Ghana Russia Centre for Commerce and Relations has joined forces with the Moscow Technical University of Communications and Informatics (MTUCI) in a new cooperation agreement. Signed during the Global Digital Forum 2026 in Moscow, the partnership aims to foster connections between Russian technological expertise and Ghana's burgeoning digital sector.
The agreement covers a range of potential collaborations, including academic exchanges, skills development, and knowledge transfer between technology institutions, businesses, and young professionals. During the forum, John Aggrey, Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Russia Centre, engaged in a panel discussion titled "NGSO Communication Systems: From National Ambitions to Regional Cooperation."
This session explored how non-geostationary satellite orbit communication systems could boost connectivity and stimulate regional and international partnerships.
Aggrey emphasized Ghana's potential to engage in satellite communications, space-related research, digital infrastructure, and technology training to support national development. These collaborations could enhance the country's usage of satellite technology in agriculture, environmental monitoring, and security. Furthermore, Ghana's interest in joining BRICS as a Partner Member could open new avenues for dialogue on digital transformation, scientific cooperation, and space technology with BRICS countries.
The partnership could also aid in developing local expertise and identifying solutions for healthcare, education, telecommunications, and public services. Aggrey outlined plans for a prospective inaugural Russia–Ghana ICT Forum in 2027, which would convene government officials, technology companies, universities, investors, and researchers.
The forum would provide a platform to explore investment opportunities, joint projects, and showcase Ghana's digital centers and innovation hubs. Aggrey expressed optimism about the prospects for commercially viable partnerships in ICT and space technology.
