GCG was founded in 1999 to leverage advances in information technology to strengthen Ghana's economy. Between 2000 and 2003, six US-based firms invested hundreds of millions of dollars in BPO and call centers in Ghana. A modern technology infrastructure is needed to support the projected proliferation of IT firms in Ghana.

On September 25, 2003, GCG launched the Ghana Technology Park proposal in New York. The Ghana technology park, as conceived, is a medium term corporate entity that will make available infrastructure facilities to growing technology firms, both domestic and foreign, to provide business process outsourcing, call centers and other products for IT markets in United States, Africa and other emerging economies. The technology park venture will help Ghana fully tap into the global information technology market on a large scale.

The Ghana Technology Park will be a strategic base for companies targeting emerging markets in West Africa, a new frontier in the world of outsourcing, covering 250 million people. Ultimately, the Ghana Technology Park seeks to become West Africa's biggest IT infrastructure, with 100 companies expected to operate in 2006 with approximately 2,500 Knowledge Workers (programmers, database developers, business process staff).
