The award is regarded as one of the most prestigious honors recognizing entrepreneurs whose leadership, innovation, and global influence are reshaping industries and advancing sustainable economic development worldwide.
The Global Entrepreneurs Awards are presented to a highly selective group of business leaders whose work demonstrates measurable impact across markets and sectors.

Today, he stands among the most respected voices in clean energy, sustainability, and global development, bridging local insight with international influence.
Through RIFE International, Osei-Sarpong has led the development and delivery of practical clean energy and sustainability solutions in collaboration with public institutions, global partners, and private-sector stakeholders. In Ghana, RIFE Energy delivered a nationally significant solar energy project for the National Information Technology Agency (NITA) in partnership with Empower New Energy, supporting reliable power for critical digital and public-sector infrastructure.
Beyond government projects, RIFE International partnered with the Brothers of Holy Cross in Ghana to deliver a renewable energy solution that supports their educational mission and operational needs. The collaboration provided reliable, clean power while reducing energy costs, demonstrating RIFE's commitment to practical, measurable solutions that advance institutional goals and benefit local communities.
More broadly, Osei-Sarpong's work reflects a broader commitment to entrepreneurship as a vehicle for global problem-solving, connecting clean energy, infrastructure modernization, and economic opportunity across markets. His leadership has positioned RIFE International as a trusted partner in climate-smart development, while reinforcing the role of entrepreneurs in delivering solutions that are scalable, commercially viable, and socially relevant.
"Receiving this recognition in Ghana is deeply meaningful," said Osei-Sarpong. "It reflects a journey that began here and has expanded globally through collaboration, innovation, and shared purpose. This award belongs to the teams and partners who believe in building solutions that create lasting value across borders."
