Ghanaian mobile phone and computer assembling company, Rlg Communications Limited, says it is planning to build a $100 million technology centre in the country by 2014.
Chief executive officer of Rlg Communications, Roland Agambire, said that the centre “will be the first of its kind in Africa, modeled on other tech centers in the world like the Silicon Valley in the USA.”
He said construction work is planned to start in January, pointing out that the centre could accommodate manufacturing plants that put together components of mobile phones and computers.
He said the centre could also develop software for mobile phones and computers, and even take on orders from other technology giants.
“The move has been influenced by the growing demand for its products and its expansion drive to other countries," said Agambire.
To further increase its presence in Africa, the Ghanaian owned ICT firm - which may list on Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE) - says it also plans to expand into six other West African countries and three Southern African countries by first half of next year.
However, Agambire declined to mention the names of these countries.
He added that the company is planning to establish an assembling plant in Nigeria.
