Abstract
The Accra Tech Corridor in Ghana has emerged as a hub for youth entrepreneurship with significant digital skills gaps. Mixed methods approach combining quantitative surveys (\(N=200)\) and qualitative interviews (\(n=25)\). Business startups increased by 34% among trained participants, with a confidence interval of ±6 percentage points. Digital skills development programmes significantly boost youth entrepreneurship in Accra's Tech Corridor, enhancing business growth and employment prospects. Government should expand funding for such programmes to reach more entrepreneurs.
