IET-GH invites Ga Mantse to 40th annual general conference

The Institution of Engineering and Technology, Ghana (IET-GH) has formally extended an invitation to the Ga Mantse, His Royal Majesty King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, to attend the institution's 40th Annual General Conference. This significant event is part of IET-GH's ongoing efforts to celebrate four decades of engineering excellence and highlight the sector's contributions to national development.

The invitation was presented during a visit from IET-GH officials, including President Engr. Wonder Salami Davor and representatives from the Chamber of Construction Industry, among others. The conference is set to take place at the Ghana Shippers’ Authority Auditorium in Accra from November 18 to 20, 2026, with a focus on engineering innovation, sustainable infrastructure and professional responsibility.

The Ga Mantse's participation is especially noteworthy, as traditional leaders have a crucial role in areas such as land administration, community development and stakeholder engagement. The conference will bring together engineers, industry professionals, policymakers, academics and other stakeholders to discuss the role of engineering in Ghana's development.

Key topics include glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars in concrete construction, fire safety considerations, and the importance of adopting modern technologies. The conference aims to foster collaboration between engineering professionals, government, industry and traditional institutions to ensure collective progress in sustainable national development.
