The finalists were selected from hundreds of applicants who applied to compete in the challenge by a jury.
The applicants selected to go through the next phase of the competition included Ms Salma Abdulai, Mr Prince Amaniapong, Mr Ebenezer Annoh, Mr Joshua Ayinbora, and Mr Prince Boadu.
Others are Mr Dominic Kepomey, Ms Eunice Owusu-Karikari, Mr Nana Gyan Quaicoe, Mr Daniel Quaicoe Jnr, and Mr Yakubu Yusuf.
The finalists must now confirm their willingness to remain in the competition after which they will receive a one-week intensive coaching to help them prepare for their oral presentations before the jury.
Three finalists will be the eventual winners of the challenge in Ghana.
They will receive financial aid to develop their project, as well as customised support and coaching from Total Petroleum Ghana Ltd.
All the finalists will, however, be honoured at an official awards ceremony.

It forms part of Total’s overall policy of supporting the socio-economic development of all its host countries worldwide.
It is aimed at strengthening the industrial base and employment opportunities in the participating countries by helping the boldest and most innovative entrepreneurs carry out their projects.
