In a bold move to bridge the gap between entrepreneurial ambition and institutional support, Enterprise Group PLC has officially launched Enterprise Spotlight, a high-stakes competition aimed at propelling Ghana’s brightest young business minds into the national spotlight.
Launched on March 16, 2026, at Advantage Place in Accra, the initiative is delivered in partnership with Springboard Road Show Foundation (SRSF) and will air nationally on Springboard, Your Virtual University. The competition is open to entrepreneurs aged 18 to 40 from all sectors of the economy, with women and persons with disabilities strongly encouraged to apply.
Through a nationwide application process, 24 entrepreneurs will be selected and undergo a rigorous assessment journey before a national broadcast audience. Participants advancing through the stages will receive direct financial support:
- Overall Winner: GHS 100,000
- First Runner-Up: GHS 80,000
- Second Runner-Up: GHS 50,000
- Semi-finalists: GHS 10,000 each
- Quarterfinalists: GHS 5,000 each
- Most Resilient Award (entrepreneur with disability): GHS 10,000
Beyond financial rewards, Enterprise Spotlight offers multi-layered support, including mentorship, national visibility, and market access. All participants, regardless of how far they progress, will receive formal enrolment in a structured Mentoring and Counselling Program, a dedicated business showcase on Springboard, and access to Springboard’s nationwide network of over one million young Ghanaians, fostering peer-to-peer learning, collaboration, and potential B2B partnerships.
The Executive Director of Springboard Road Show Foundation highlighted the initiative’s significance:
“Ghana’s entrepreneurs have always been ready. They did not need to be discovered; they needed a door to be opened. Enterprise Spotlight is that door. Entrepreneurs are not simply receiving a prize; they are being onboarded onto a platform, a network, and a proven system of support Springboard has used to transform young Ghanaians for over twenty years. Every entrepreneur who walks through this process will leave stronger than they arrived.”
Through the Springboard mentoring framework, participants also gain access to trained psychologists and counsellors, providing the psychosocial support needed to navigate the challenges of building and scaling businesses in Ghana.
Jacqueline Naadu Benyi, Managing Director of Enterprise Life, added:
“Enterprise Group has always believed that business growth and national development are inseparable. With Enterprise Spotlight, we are putting that belief into practice, investing in entrepreneurs who are building real businesses, creating real jobs, and solving real problems in communities across Ghana. This is our commitment to the next generation of Ghanaian enterprise.”
Applications are open immediately. Eligible candidates must operate a registered business in Ghana and be between 18 and 40 years old. The deadline for applications is Monday, April 6, 2026.
