NEOMA Business School Graduate Students support KIC Businesses through Consulting Challenge

The Kosmos Innovation Center (KIC) hosted graduate students from NEOMA Business School on Friday, 25 September 2026, as part of its ongoing collaboration with the institution to connect students with Ghana’s entrepreneurship ecosystem and provide opportunities for practical learning.

As part of the visit, the students provided management consulting support to three KIC businesses at different stages of their growth — Agrimercarb, Farm Estates and Hot Drops.

The consulting engagement focused on providing practical feedback and insights on business growth opportunities, market success factors and strategies for strengthening business operations, with a particular focus on enterprise growth and scalability.

Prior to the engagement, the businesses shared their profiles with the students, enabling them to better understand the enterprises, their respective markets and the opportunities and challenges they face. The students then used these insights to inform their analysis and recommendations during the consulting sessions.

The engagement also provided an opportunity for the entrepreneurs to share their experiences of building and growing their businesses within Ghana’s business environment. Through discussions on their business journeys, current operations and emerging market opportunities, the entrepreneurs provided the students with practical perspectives on the realities of entrepreneurship.

The exchange was therefore two-way, combining the students’ management consulting perspectives with the entrepreneurs’ practical experience and knowledge of their respective markets.

For KIC, collaborations such as this demonstrate the value of connecting entrepreneurs, academia and industry to exchange knowledge, address real business challenges and create opportunities for enterprise growth.
