Testimonials from the Global Diaspora Village
(GDV) 2014

Participating in Global Diaspora Village in Scotland was a remarkable opportunity for our country. Showcasing our tourism, culture, and investment potential on giant screens and through our exhibition stand gave us incredible visibility during the Commonwealth Games period. The games were impressive, the audience was diverse, and the organisation was seamless. It truly amplified our international presence - Ghana

This was a great opportunity for MKU to interact with other Scottish and UK Universities. We now have a Scottish Chancellor and Ambassador for our University. This has made our universities improve in quality assurance, joint grants for the British council and global research institutions. We have concluded outstanding agricultural research on pest control and we are now a significant partner of the Centre of African Research in Economic and Enterprise Development. All as a result of being a Gold Sponsor for Commonwealth games - GDV 2014,

This platform was more than an exhibition - it was a bridge between diaspora communities, businesses, and international markets. Our products received outstanding exposure both on the big screens and at our beautifully managed stand. The strategic location during the Commonwealth Games period meant we connected with decision-makers, buyers, and media we would not have reached otherwise.”
