The Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC) has initiated its Regional Investment Roadshows aimed at promoting investment opportunities at the district level and enhancing economic growth throughout the nation. Rooted in the Centre’s Investment Opportunity Mapping Project (IOMP), this initiative is designed to identify and promote ventures that are ready for investment across all 261 districts, with a strategic emphasis on regional diversification and sustainable development. The initial phase of the roadshows is scheduled to occur from October 27 to 30, 2025, in the Volta and Oti Regions, with events planned at the University of Health and Allied Sciences (UHAS) in Ho and the Bosatsu Hotel in Dambai. Under the theme “Driving Local Investment – Unlocking Regional Potential,” these sessions will highlight significant opportunities in sectors such as manufacturing, agribusiness, tourism, and renewable energy. Through business-to-business (B2B) interactions, company visits, and project presentations, the GIPC intends to link local entrepreneurs with both domestic and international investors, fostering partnerships that enhance value chains, stimulate innovation, and fortify regional economies. Engagement with Parliament Prior to the launch, the GIPC Board, chaired by Dr. Akwasi Oppong Fosu, convened with members of the Volta and Oti Regional Caucuses in Parliament to outline the initiative’s objectives and garner legislative support for the promotion of regional investment. Lawmakers from both regions praised the Centre’s strategy and committed to ensuring the success of the roadshows. High-Level Participation The Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah, will present the keynote address on behalf of President John Dramani Mahama, reaffirming the government’s dedication to inclusive growth and regional empowerment. GIPC’s Chief Executive Officer, Simon Madjie, is anticipated to emphasize feasible investment opportunities that are in line with the government’s 24-Hour Economy initiative, which aims to improve productivity, generate employment, and enhance economic resilience through more robust public-private partnerships. “By connecting regional initiatives to national economic objectives, the roadshows will aid in the growth of GDP, the enhancement of infrastructure, and the improvement of living standards,” Mr. Madjie stated. Acting as a precursor to the Ghana International Investment Summit (GIIS) scheduled for 2026, the regional roadshows are also projected to strengthen Ghana’s standing as a premier destination for international investment.
