Sherif Ghali Inspires Next Generation of Entrepreneurs at UCC; Honored by Atlantic Hall
One of Ghana’s boldest youth voices, Sherif Ghali, CEO of the Ghana Chamber of Young Entrepreneurs and Chairperson of the Commonwealth Alliance of Young Entrepreneurs – Africa, delivered a game-changing message to students at the University of Cape Coast during the Atlantic Hall Leadership and Entrepreneurship Summit.
His speech? 🔥 Electric.
His message? Clear.
“The future doesn’t belong to the next generation. It belongs to those who start building it now.”
In a room filled with student leaders, aspiring founders, and youth influencers, Sherif challenged the culture of waiting and fear. He urged young people to stop rehearsing and start creating real solutions for their communities.
“Ghana doesn’t need more job seekers. It needs job creators. And that power sits in this room.”
Sherif’s keynote, titled “Youth in Entrepreneurship: Breaking Down Barriers and Achieving Success,” hit hard on the real challenges youth face—access to funding, mentorship, and belief. But he didn’t stop there. He highlighted the work of GCYE in tearing down those walls through programs like:
- STEP – for student entrepreneurs
- YOFEP – empowering young female founders
- APPENT – turning vocational skills into startups
- YESS Fund – unlocking capital for early-stage ideas
🏅 Honored for His Impact
In a powerful moment of recognition, Atlantic Hall presented Sherif Ghali with a special citation for his outstanding contributions to youth entrepreneurship in Ghana. Students cheered. Cameras flashed. And the message landed: impact speaks louder than talk.
