Accra, Ghana – In a remarkable testament to Ghanaian innovation and academic excellence, Philip Cobbinah, a dedicated student of Regent University Ghana, has been selected to represent the nation at the prestigious 2025 Enactus World Cup. The global event is scheduled to take place from September 25 to 28 at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center in Bangkok, Thailand.
This extraordinary achievement is the culmination of a transformative journey undertaken under the expert guidance of Electropro Allied Engineers Ghana, a leading firm that provided crucial industry mentorship. The collaboration between academia and industry has proven to be a powerful catalyst for success, showcasing the immense potential that emerges when theoretical knowledge is fused with real-world engineering and business acumen.
Philip Cobbinah’s selection for the world stage comes on the heels of his team's outstanding performance at the national Enactus Ghana competition. Enactus, a global community of student, academic, and business leaders, operates on the principle of using entrepreneurial action to transform lives and shape a better, more sustainable world. Cobbinah and his team from Regent University developed a groundbreaking social enterprise project that impressed judges with its innovation, impact, and scalability, ultimately securing them the national title and the honour of representing Ghana.
The nature of the winning project, though specific details are often closely guarded until the global event, is understood to address a critical social, economic, or environmental challenge within a Ghanaian community. True to the Enactus spirit, the project likely embodies a sustainable, entrepreneurial solution that empowers people and promotes positive change.
The role of Electropro Allied Engineers Ghana as a mentor cannot be overstated. The firm provided Philip and his team with invaluable insights into engineering feasibility, project management, sustainable business models, and technical prototyping. This industry partnership ensured that the students' visionary ideas were grounded in practical, executable strategies, significantly enhancing the project's credibility and impact.
“We are incredibly proud of Philip and the entire Enactus team at Regent University,” said Ambassador Abukari Imbrana Awudu, spokesperson for Electropro Allied Engineers. “Their passion and innovative spirit are truly inspiring. Our role was simply to provide a steadying hand and industry perspective; their hard work and brilliance did the rest. We are confident they will make Ghana proud in Bangkok.”
Dr. Samuel Ayeh-Bampoe, Deputy registrar, in charge of Human Resource Management of Regent University, also expressed his elation: "This achievement is a clear validation of our university's commitment to producing leaders who are not only academically sound but also socially conscious and entrepreneurial. Philip represents the best of Regent—a commitment to excellence and a heart for service. The entire university community stands behind him."
The Enactus World Cup is the pinnacle of the organization’s year-long activities, bringing together thousands of students, academic advisors, and business leaders from over 30 countries. Teams will present the results of their community outreach projects to panels of business executives, competing for the coveted World Cup trophy. The event serves as a dynamic forum for sharing ideas, celebrating achievement, and networking with a global community of leaders.
As Philip Cobbinah prepares for the trip to Bangkok, he carries with him the hopes and support of his university, his mentors, and his nation. His journey from the classrooms of Regent University to the global stage in Thailand is a powerful story of how mentorship, education, and entrepreneurial spirit can converge to create world-changing opportunities.
The entire nation will be watching in September, eager to see Ghana’s innovation shine on a global platform.
