Makeup Ghana, represented by its CEO/Founder
Rebecca Donkor participated in the two-day Global Business Forum on
Africa in Madinat Jumeirah, Dubai.
Under the patronage of
His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE Vice-President
and Prime Minister, and Ruler of Dubai, the theme of the 4th Edition of
GBF Africa was “Next Generation Africa”,
and brought together 1,000 top-level participants, including government
officials, policymakers, business and finance leaders, and
entrepreneurs from across Africa and around the world, to discuss trade
and investment opportunities that are blossoming across the continent.
Makeup Ghana, participated as part of a Ghana Investment Promotion Council (GIPC)
delegation of private and government participants across multiple
sectors. Makeup Ghana believes the cohort of attendees at GBF Africa
provides the perfect launchpad for mutually beneficial collaboration
between Dubai’s vibrant makeup and beauty scene and Ghana’s fast
ecosystem.
The focus for Makeup
Ghana’s participation was to properly project the economic impact of the
Makeup and Beauty Industry in Ghana, especially its importance in
creating and empowering female entrepreneurs and find partners who can
help fulfill this agenda.
Makeup Ghana CEO, Rebecca Donkor emphasized this when she said:
"The Makeup & Beauty Industry in Ghana
is growing fast and is a formidable force for economic empowerment,
especially for female entrepreneurs.
However,
to continue this growth trajectory, we need support from private and
public-sector stakeholders within and outside Ghana. We are here to
showcase the vast opportunities available in our industry and to also
find partners to help train and build capacity within the industry
through grants, equity funding and skills transfer between artists,
retailers, brands, manufacturers in Dubai and Ghana”.
Makeup
Ghana is a social enterprise creating a unifying platform for
stakeholders in the emerging and fast-growing makeup and beauty industry
in Ghana. We are bringing together makeup professionals, makeup brands,
beauty retailers and fashion & beauty content creators in Ghana,
under one umbrella, to propel the industry forward.
We do this through advocacy, training and capacity building, events and consulting services.
Global Business Forum

founders of Africa’s most innovative businesses. The forum will examine
the potential for leveraging technology to accelerate growth across
Africa, discuss the power of the emerging private sector and identify
the opportunities for financing and partnering with Africa’s most
