Ashanti prince to open P3-USAS in Washington D.C.

Oheneba Yaw Otchere, a member of Ghana’s Ashanti royal family and Global Incorporated Group chief executive, will kick off the P3 United States-Africa Summit (P3-USAS) in Washington D.C. next week.

Held on Tuesday, 13 and Wednesday, 14 December, the private summit is a global gathering of top political and business leaders. P3-USAS is hosted by the P3 Network, a leading blockchain thought leadership platform focused on global dialogue.

A host of African dignitaries, United States government officials, CEOs, and private enterprises, will attend, establishing cross-country dialogue and lasting partnerships.

Otchere is also a representative of Ashanti Kingdom Investment Trust (AKIT), the investment arm of the Ashanti Kingdom, the longest-serving monarch in Africa, with over 460 billion dollars in assets. AKIT seeks to drive socio-economic development for the people of the Kingdom, Ghana, the Sub-Saharan Africa region, and the rest of the world.

“The vision is to harness the various resources in the region with a strategic long-term partnership with multiple foreign governments, organisations, and entities,” says Otchere.

“We are honoured to work closely with his highness, prince Otchere, and the Ashanti Kingdom Investment Trust. This will be the largest public-private partnership between the U.S. and Africa with a focus on a full digital transformation plan. The summit will allow us to build on our shared goals of blockchain and technology adoption goals,” adds Jonathan Leigh, chief executive of P3 Network.

Yordanos Fesshaye, executive director of Africa Global Solutions, says the collaboration with Otchere as lead keynote speaker at this event is significant and validates Africa as the leading emerging market to realise the benefits of United States engagements while positioning the continent towards a trajectory to shape the future of global economies.

P3-USAS event is expected to deliver multiple trade agreements and economic deal flow transactions across P3 Network in banking, energy, supply chain, and disruptive technology led by its venture arm, P3 Capital.
