He is known in the technological circles as Akofena, the CEO of Kantanka Automobile company Limited which was established by his father, Apostle Ing Kwadwo Safo, a renowned Tech innovator in Africa, popularly known as the “star of Africa”.

The Akofena Tech Challenge is a though – for – action subsidiary of Apostle Safo Suaye (Technology center), the R&D Institute of the Kantanka Group.

Unleashing, Talents, Building the Future:

This Tech challenge is with the aim of nurturing potential Tech – minds among Africans, building competent people who are ready to take the lead roles in the global race of invention and innovation.

There are a lot of Tech enthusiasts in Africa who by unknown reasons have abandoned their dreams of becoming the next Kantanka in Ghana or Steve Jobs of Apple, and others in the Tech world. Most of the time, it is not about how good one is, but rather about the lack of an enabling environment and financial support. Kwadwo Safo Akofena I believes in talents and how we can use them to build a prosperous nation.
It is time to unleash our hidden talents, refocus and rebuild a promising Ghana. Nothing can stop us unless we decide not to build it.
