Local businesses across the country have been advised to pursue partnerships and joint ventures to increase their chances of excelling in their various industries.
The General Manager in Charge of Business at Tecno Mobile Ghana, Daniel Glover, said pursuing partnerships allowed all parties involved to fully explore areas where they had the most competitive advantages, pool them together and make more profits than they would have individually.
“There is a lesson that I want us to learn from this and it is that in Ghana and Africa, we can also trust one another and be transparent with one another and if we do, we can also attain great heights and make giant strides in the world of industry,” he added.
Mr Glover said that at the launch of the company’s new line of smartphones; the “Camon 20 Series” in Accra in collaboration with telecommunication giants MTN.
Present at the event were a Deputy Minister of Trade and Industry, Michael Okyere Baafi; Musician and Brand Ambassador of the Tecno, Stonbwoy and the Chairman of the Mobile Phones Dealers Association, Joseph Osei Agyemang, among other industry players.
