Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare launches 2026 Invest Ghana Summit for 2,000 investors

Trade Minister Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare has officially launched the 2026 Invest Ghana Summit, a strategic platform designed to position the nation as a top destination for high-impact investments. Scheduled to take place in Accra from November 16 to 17, 2026, the summit is expected to attract more than 2,000 international and local investors. The initiative is a cornerstone of the government’s New Economy programme, which focuses on transforming Ghana’s economic structure through industrialization and technological advancement.

During the launch, the Minister emphasized that the summit aims to bridge the gap between global capital and viable local projects. The primary objectives are to drive sustainable job creation and facilitate the transfer of advanced technology to Ghanaian industries. By targeting productive investments, the government seeks to enhance the competitiveness of local businesses in the global marketplace and strengthen domestic supply chains, ensuring that economic growth translates into tangible benefits for citizens.

The New Economy programme, under which this summit is organized, marks a shift in the government's approach to investment promotion. Rather than seeking general capital inflows, the Ministry of Trade and Industry is prioritizing sectors that promise high productivity and long-term resilience. Minister Ofosu-Adjare noted that this focus is essential for building an economy that can withstand global volatility while providing consistent opportunities for the country's growing workforce.

Concluding the series of high-level economic activities, the 22nd Ghana Club 100 Awards will be held on November 18, 2026. This event will celebrate the achievements of the country's most successful companies, serving as a testament to the potential for growth within the Ghanaian market. Together, the summit and the awards represent a concerted effort by the Mahama administration to boost investor confidence and foster a business environment conducive to large-scale, transformative partnerships.
