The leading innovator in Ghana and founder of the Kantanka Group, Dr. Kwadwo Safo Kantanka, has once again demonstrated his technological prowess through the launch of drones.
The drone embodies cutting-edge technology, and it is designed for a range of uses, from surveillance, agriculture, and delivery services to disaster management. The drone also has features such as long-range capability, high-definition cameras, and an eco-friendly power system—features that are rare to locally made drones in Africa.
At launch, industry experts hailed the innovation, describing it as a milestone in Ghana’s technological journey and independence. SUVs, water sprinklers, and corn harvesters were also unveiled at the launch.
The Kantanka Group had previously launched groundbreaking innovations, including vehicles, machinery, and electronics specifically designed for the continent, positioning the group as a leader in technological advancement and self-reliance in Ghana and Africa as a whole.
The drone will be available for public and private sector use later.
On a personal note, this is a groundbreaking development in Ghana and Africa regarding technology. This is the kind of venture that the Ghanaian government should invest in and also promote to its people. Government officials should be made to drive in these locally made vehicles instead of importing Toyota Landcruisers for them. These acts will go a long way to ensure the continent competes fairly with others in technological advancement and also ensure self-reliance.
These advancements are revolutionizing how we live and work, making transportation safer, more efficient, and environmentally friendly.
