Technology Transfer Agreements In Ghana

Introduction

In Ghana, Technology Transfer Agreements are entered into between enterprises (referred to as the Transferee) and enterprises outside Ghana (referred to as the Transferor). The provisions of every technology transfer agreement in Ghana must conform to and are governed by the following laws:

• The Ghana Investment Promotion Centre Act, 2013 (Act 865)
• The Technology Transfer Regulations, 1992 (L.I. 1547).

Under Act 865, all Technology Transfer Agreements must be reviewed and registered by the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre, which is the agency of the Ghanaian government responsible for, among others, the registration and monitoring of all technology transfer agreements in Ghana.
