Indigenous cybersecurity firms Virtual Security Africa (VSA) and Virtual Infosec Africa (VIA) have demonstrated their commitment to Ghana’s technological and economic development at the 2026 Kwahu Business Forum. VSA took a lead role by providing free AI-enabled, solar-powered surveillance systems to ensure the safety and security of the forum’s participants. This deployment showcased the company's capability in providing sustainable, high-tech security solutions that leverage renewable energy, setting a high standard for future event management and national security infrastructure.\n\nCentral to VSA’s participation was the announcement of its alignment with the government's 24-Hour Economy agenda. To support this national objective, the firm plans to establish a local assembly plant for CCTV systems in Ghana. This strategic move is designed to boost the local manufacturing sector, significantly reduce the country's reliance on imported security hardware, and create numerous job opportunities for Ghanaian technicians and engineers. By localizing production, VSA aims to make advanced security technology more accessible and tailored to the specific needs of the Ghanaian market.\n\nEmmanuel Asiedu Sekyere, CEO of Virtual Security Africa, expressed a vision of positioning Ghana as a regional leader in digital security innovation. He emphasized that the integration of artificial intelligence and solar technology is not just about security but also about driving sustainable economic growth. The presence of indigenous firms like VSA and VIA at such a prominent business forum highlights the vital role of local innovation in securing the nation's digital future and fostering a robust ecosystem for technology-driven businesses.
