The Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC) has launched its Regional Investment Roadshows, a nationwide initiative aimed at highlighting district-level investment prospects and accelerating economic growth across the country.
The campaign forms part of GIPC’s Investment Opportunity Mapping Project (IOMP), which seeks to identify and promote viable, investment-ready ventures in all 261 districts. By emphasizing regional diversification and sustainable development, the project is designed to channel investment into high-impact sectors across Ghana.
The first phase of the roadshows will be held from October 27 to 30, 2025, in the Volta and Oti Regions, with sessions scheduled 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,” the events will showcase promising opportunities in manufacturing, agribusiness, tourism, and renewable energy.
Through business-to-business (B2B) interactions, company visits, and project showcases, GIPC aims to connect local entrepreneurs with both domestic and international investors. The goal is to forge strategic partnerships that enhance value chains, promote innovation, and strengthen regional economies.
Engagement with Parliament
Ahead of the official launch, the GIPC Board, chaired by Dr. Akwasi Oppong Fosu, met with members of the Volta and Oti Regional Caucuses in Parliament to outline the objectives of the roadshows and seek parliamentary backing for the initiative.
Lawmakers from both regions praised the Centre’s decentralized approach and expressed their full support for the programme’s successful rollout.
High-Level Participation
The Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah, will deliver the keynote address on behalf of President John Dramani Mahama, reaffirming government’s dedication to inclusive growth and regional empowerment.
GIPC’s Chief Executive Officer, Simon Madjie, will present a range of bankable investment opportunities aligned with the government’s 24-Hour Economy Policy, which aims to boost productivity, create jobs, and strengthen economic resilience through robust public-private collaboration.
“By linking regional projects to national development priorities, these roadshows will help drive GDP growth, improve infrastructure, and enhance livelihoods,” Mr. Madjie stated.
Building Momentum Toward GIIS 2026
Serving as a key prelude to the upcoming Ghana International Investment Summit (GIIS) in 2026, the Regional Investment Roadshows are expected to not only stimulate local enterprise but also reinforce Ghana’s standing as a premier destination for global investment.
