Russia’s Youth Festival could unlock business partnerships and scholarships for Ghanaian youth – John Aggrey

The Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Russia Centre for Commerce and Relations, John Aggrey, says the ongoing 2026 International Festival of Youth (IYF) in Russia could open pathways to business partnerships, scholarships and joint ventures for Ghanaian participants.

Speaking in an interview with MyJoyOnline on the sidelines of the festival, Mr Aggrey said the event provided Ghanaian youth with a rare opportunity to build international networks in entrepreneurship, technology, media, education and culture.

The festival spans entrepreneurship, technology, media, education and culture, the exact sectors where our young people have talent but often lack the international networks to scale it,” he said.
