Helios Towers marked 15 years of partnership, progress, and purpose with a special anniversary gala held at the Grand Arena of the Accra International Conference Centre – celebrating a legacy that began in Ghana and now spans nine countries across Africa and the Middle East.
Since launching its operations in Ghana in 2010, Helios Towers has played a central role in the country’s digital transformation, enabling mobile coverage for over 18 million Ghanaians, establishing more than 1,096 sites, and leading the industry in green energy innovation with over 400 solar-powered towers.
“For 15 years, Helios Towers has been connecting communities and powering growth,” said Kweku Frempong, Managing Director of Helios Towers Ghana. “Ghana was where it all began, and it continues to be a cornerstone of our story — a place where we’ve built not only towers, but talent, trust, and lasting impact.
This is not just an anniversary – it’s a celebration of resilience, innovation, and what can be achieved when you invest in people and potential. We thank all those who have walked this path with us.”
The evening brought together senior government officials, telecom leaders, community partners, and employees to honour the relationships that have powered the business. Guests included Sam George, Minister for Communications and Digitalisation, and Sir Sam Jonah, Chairman of Helios Towers Ghana.
From one market to a continental footprint
From its single-market roots in Ghana, Helios Towers has grown into one of the leading independent telecom infrastructure providers in Africa, now operating over 14,000 towers across nine markets, including Ghana, Tanzania, DRC, Republic of Congo, Senegal, Malawi, Madagascar, South Africa and Oman.
This growth has been made possible by deep local partnerships and a workforce that is proudly Ghanaian — 100% of Helios Towers Ghana employees are Ghanaian, with 22% female representation in a traditionally male-dominated industry.
A Legacy of innovation, inclusion, and impact
Helios Towers Ghana has consistently led with innovation – most recently through a major solar rollout across the country. The company has also invested in rural connectivity with over 290 rural sites, and in human capital with nearly USD $1 million spent on training and upskilling to date.
