Addressing the Volta Economic Forum in Ho, Mr. Mensah emphasized that it's time to move beyond discussions and start building enterprises that can capitalize on the region's potential. He highlighted that the Volta Region possesses the necessary resources to become a hub for production and exports, provided stakeholders commit to realizing viable opportunities. The region boasts nearly all the components needed for major production, investment, and export-led growth, according to Mr. Mensah. He identified several business sectors with the potential to spur growth in the region and called for collaborative efforts to advance those ideas. The forum, part of celebrations marking this year's yam festival, was themed \"Transforming Potentials into Wealth for the Volta Region.\" Mr. Mensah stressed that sustained commitment would be essential to translate the region's strengths into enterprises that generate jobs and contribute to the region's development.",
