About Us

Star 100 is a network of Ghanaian and non-Ghanaian professionals in the Diaspora with an interest in Ghana. It was founded in the UK in June 2004 with the aim of connecting 100 likeminded professionals - hence the name.

Today we have some 800 registered members in two branches in the UK (London) and US (New York).

Our members cover a wide range of professions from Finance, Management Consultancy, Law, Media and Entertainment to Technology, Civil Engineering and Social Work.

Our aims are to provide opportunities for Ghanaians, and non-Ghanaians with a demonstrable interest in Ghana, in the Diaspora to:

1. network online and offline, for social and business purposes,
2. develop their personal and career skills,
3. learn about Ghana's history, culture, politics and economics,
4. give back to and create links with Ghana.

The backbone of the group are our networking meet-ups which take place in London (Star 100 UK) and New York (Star 100 US).

Our meet-ups range from unstructured socials in a bar/restaurant to more structured enhanced meet-ups such as talks and workshops. To date we have played host to Prof. Nana Apt, Prof. Eddie Obeng, June Milne, Dr. Spio Garbrah and Nana Akufo-Addo.

In April 2010, Star 100 UK launched a subscription scheme to allow members to invest in the group's growth. In Q2 of 2011 we will be replacing this site with an online networking platform.
