Three bold Ghanaian innovators have been announced as Fellows of the prestigious Commonwealth Startup Fellowship (CSF), a global accelerator programme designed to propel high-potential startups into new frontiers of growth and impact.
Selected from more than 1,800 applications spanning 44 countries and territories, the Ghanaian entrepreneurs represent the country’s rising wave of ingenuity and problem-solving enterprise.
In a press release signed by Stephen Johns, International Communications Manager at Imperial College, London, the three beneficiaries are mentioned as:
- PureLube – Fareeda Mustapha: A pioneering eco-friendly grease made from cashew shells, engineered for automotive and industrial use.
- ShaQ Express – Anthony Owusu-Ansah: A tech-powered green logistics company revolutionising last-mile delivery in Ghana with electric bikes and Snoo.
- CODERED – Dr Nana Serwaa Quao: An emergency logistics software platform designed to strengthen healthcare delivery in hard-to-reach communities.
Funded by the UK government and delivered in partnership with Imperial College London, the Commonwealth Startup Fellowship empowers early-stage entrepreneurs from low- and middle-income Commonwealth countries to tackle pressing development challenges through innovation.
According to the release, this year’s cohort brought together 23 Fellows from across the globe, including Bangladesh, Botswana, India, Jamaica, Kenya, Nigeria, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, and Uganda. Over the next six months, participants will undergo intensive workshops, mentorship, and coaching, culminating in an investor showcase in London in May 2026.
Two of Ghana’s Fellows are supported by Imperial Global Ghana, Imperial College London’s hub in Accra, which fosters collaboration between West Africa and the UK in research, technology, education, and entrepreneurship.
Professor Robin Mason, Chair of the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission, added: “We are delighted to nurture these promising entrepreneurs and help them scale their startups to create real impact. The Commonwealth Startup Fellowship is proving what’s possible when higher education, industry, and decision makers unite with a shared vision for a better world.”
According to the release, from sustainable automotive solutions to green logistics and lifesaving healthcare technology, “these startups embody the spirit of resilience and creativity that defines Ghana’s entrepreneurial landscape.”

About 120 golfers from clubs across Ghana participated in an 18-hole competition, dubbed ‘MTN 30th Anniversary CEO Invitational Golf Tournament’ held at the Achimota Golf Club on Saturday.
At the end of the hectic day, Frederick Semenu Duvor won the Men’s Group A event with 39 points, while Julienne Afi claimed the Ladies’ Group A title with the same score.
Yaw Mireku Jnr. won the Men’s Group B with an impressive 45 points, while Kous Louanges Mang took the Ladies’ Group B title with 38 points.
Kofi Mangesi won Men’s Group C with 40 points while Elorm R. Akuash Bonney claimed the Ladies’ version with 42 points.
In the Seniors Division, Jan Vogel emerged winner of the men’s category with 39 gross, while Helen Appah topped the ladies’ category with 44 gross.
Addressing participants, the company’s Board Chairman, Mr Ishmael Yamson, urged the company to approach its next phase with the same resilience, discipline and determination that have defined its success over the past three decades.
He drew a striking parallel between the game of golf and MTN Ghana’s three-decade journey, describing both as long games in which success depends less on one spectacular moment than on consistency, patience, judgment and the ability to recover from setbacks.
He said, golf had taught him a lesson that extended far beyond the fairways, thus, a round cannot be won on the first hole.
In golfing terms, he said, MTN Ghana had encountered its share of regulatory bunkers, competitive hazards and unexpected storms that had forced the company to pause, reassess and change its approach.
But those challenges, he suggested, were part of the journey rather than reasons to abandon it.
