当地时间11月17日，海岸角大学孔子学院于海岸角科技大学（Cape Coast Technical University）举办了“‘互联网+’对中国经济发展的影响”讲座。主讲人为湖南工程学院的刘华容副教授，海岸角大学孔院中方院长胡亮才教授、海岸角科大研究院院长门萨博士（Dr. Stephen Agyei Mensah）、海岸角科大语言中心主任唐纳德先生（Mr. Kwame Tenadu）及海岸角科大师生400余人出席了讲座。
讲座开始前，唐纳德先生分享了自己参加由海岸角大学孔子学院组织的，由加纳中部省副省长领队的加纳教育官员访华团的经历，在中国的10多天，参观了北京，访问了国家汉办，出席了国家汉办举办的见面会，访问了湖南城市学院，参加了湖南城市学院举办的短期培训和多个研讨会，短暂而又难忘，搭乘高铁去往北京与长沙时，一行人无不惊叹于领跑世界的中国速度。一席话不由得引起了师生们对中国的好奇与向往。
讲座中，刘华容副教授首先简单介绍了李克强总理提出的“互联网+”计划，而后从“互联网+”如何促进中国经济发展，中国网络经济的现状和展望两个方面阐述了“互联网+”对中国经济发展的影响。刘华容副教授还向师生们介绍了以阿里巴巴为代表的巨无霸式互联网企业，O2O、B2B、B2C等网络经济交易模式，还有中国发达的移动支付，如微信支付，支付宝的普及等。
到场学生表示：“听完刘华容副教授一席话，收益匪浅，中国的互联网创新成果已融合到了生活各个方面。在加纳，以泛非速运与KIKUU为代表的物流平台、电商平台也在茁壮发展，加纳互联网的未来，需要新一代去开拓进取。他们正在努力学习汉语，希望将来能有机会去中国学习，跟上中国发展速度。”
据悉，海岸角科大自今年9月初与海岸角大学孔院签订开办汉语教学点协议以来，每周开设了4个汉语辅修班，学习人次已达100余人。这次讲座加深了学生对中国经济发展的了解，鼓励了学生们学习汉语的积极性
