The Ghana Free Zone Authority has now granted a free zone enterprise license to Datamaker Ghana, a South Korean artificial intelligence (AI) data learning and labeling company that was created in the nation in October 2021.
The company has established a significant position in the AI market thanks to its data laboratories in South Korea and Ghana, where it serves as the sole Korean data labeling platform with ongoing operations in the African continent.

In the fields of picture annotation, LiDAR annotation, audio annotation, text annotation, and big data, the company provides AI and related solutions.
Datamaker is mobilizing resources to eventually introduce additional cutting-edge labeling methods.
Enoch Lee, the company’s founder and CEO, said that it aimed to be a pioneer in the creation of respectable jobs and the advancement of AI talents.
He said that as part of its Inclusive Business Solution (IBS) program, the company has also established a funding relationship with the Korean International Cooperation Agency (KOICA).
“This five-year (2021-2025) partnership will further deepen KOICA’s resolve to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all and promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all,” Mr Lee said.
He intimated that the company by operating data labs in Ghana was committed to making Ghana the AI hub in the subregion.
The CEO expressed his joy at Datamaker being the first Korean IT company licensed by the Free Zones Authority, stressing that the company was focused on providing AI-related training for the youth with little or no IT knowledge.
Mr Lee added that the advent of AI-related technologies would lead to an explosion of the need for data labelers, saying, “Ghana is best positioned to become a leader in the field because of its widely youthful population and internet penetration.”
