Driving Innovation Through Collaborative Research
Welcome to the GHASKA Innovative Conference (GIC) 2026.
On behalf of the Organizing Committee, it is my great pleasure to welcome you to the 9th edition of GIC, which will be held at Hanbat National University, Daejeon, Republic of Korea, on 8th August 2026.
Since its establishment in 2018, GIC has grown into a flagship platform for students, researchers, academics, professionals, and industry leaders to share research, exchange ideas, build networks, and promote innovation. Over the years, the conference has continued to make meaningful contributions within the Ghanaian, African, and international academic communities. Africa’s development is increasingly shaped by research, education, innovation, and human capital. Ghana continues to recognize the importance of knowledge in driving sustainable progress, while the Republic of Korea remains a global leader in technology and education. Many Ghanaian and African scholars in Korea are not only acquiring knowledge but also contributing to research and strengthening bridges between Africa, Korea, and the wider world.
GIC 2026 is organized in this spirit of collaboration. The conference seeks to strengthen academic networks, encourage interdisciplinary engagement, and foster partnerships that support research, innovation, and societal development. This year’s program will feature keynote speeches, panel discussions, research presentations, mentorship sessions, alumni engagements, and networking opportunities designed to inspire learning, collaboration, and professional growth. We warmly invite students, researchers, professionals, institutions, partners, and sponsors to join us for this important gathering. We also welcome support and partnerships that will help advance the vision of GIC 2026.
On behalf of GHASKA, I sincerely appreciate our leadership, organizing committee members, volunteers, sponsors, and supporters whose dedication continues to make this conference possible.
We look forward to welcoming you to GIC 2026.

Chairman, GIC 2026 Organizing Committee
