InWEnt LAUNCHES WEBSITE (NOV 9, PAGE 3)

A website built by the German capacity building institute, InWEnt, to expose its alumni to continuous learning and sharing of experiences, was launched in Accra on Saturday.
Dubbed “Alumniportal Deutschland”, the website is designed to be used to exchange knowledge and share experiences, as well as establish contacts and strengthen relationship among its alumni.
The website is also intended to promote political and economic ties between countries which have benefited from InWEnt programmes and from Germany.
At the launch, the Content Manager of Alumniportal Deutschland, Ms Raphaela Kueh, said many people travelled to Germany every year to study or participate in advanced training and that the portal would provide them with opportunities to secure and broaden their contacts and competencies.
She said the portal enabled Germany-based Ghanaians to apply their German language skills and be up-to-date on current topics.
The President of the Ghanaian-German Economic Association (GGEA), Mr Stephen Antwi, said the portal was relevant for promoting Ghanaian businesses because there were skills and expertise that German businesses in Ghana needed.
Furthermore, he said, German businessmen and women were good partners for potential businesses in Ghana, a situation which would help them to work not only as partners but entrepreneurs for the growth of the Ghanaian economy.
The Managing Director of InWEnt, Mr Bernard Schleich, said the portal aimed at forming a long-term relationship between experts and executive personnel, as well as decision makers from all fields of life.
