The Ministry of Trade, Agribusiness and Industry (MoTAI), under the direction of the Sector Minister, Hon. Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare, has finalized plans for the “Investing in Ghana” Webinar – a sweeping international capital mobilization campaign under the theme: “Ghana is Open for Business: Unlocking Strategic Investment Opportunities.”
Aimed at cementing the country’s position as the primary hub for Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) within the West African sub-region, MoTAI has issued an official global invitation for the upcoming high-level investment forum scheduled to broadcast virtually on Thursday, July 9, 2026, from 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM Central European Time.
According to the Ministry, the digital diplomatic push of the international webinar represents a synchronized sovereign effort to attract foreign private equity, establish robust international joint ventures, and pitch Ghana’s latest industrial advancements directly to major European financiers and global corporate conglomerates.
“Participants will discover flagship investment opportunities under Ghana’s 24-Hour Economy Programme and the Investment Opportunities Mapping Project (IOMP), and engage directly with the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC), the Permanent Mission of Ghana in Geneva, and Swiss private sector representatives”

The international trade seminar, co-hosted by GIPC – the state’s primary investment facilitation agency – alongside the Permanent Mission of Ghana in Geneva, Switzerland, is poised to bridge the geographical gap between domestic asset opportunities and international liquid capital through key diplomatic and investment bodies.
The virtual structure is designed to offer European corporate leaders and institutional fund managers direct, unmediated access to state policymakers.
Prospective investors being able to interact directly with senior GIPC regulators and Swiss private sector representatives will create an efficient channel for bilateral economic matchmaking, clarifying regulatory protections, and mitigating entry risks for new market participants.
A central focus of the virtual symposium will be the presentation of the state’s primary industrial transformation frameworks, specifically highlighting commercial openings tied directly to Ghana’s landmark 24-Hour Economy Programme, engineered to transition the domestic economy toward continuous, multi-shift production cycles.
For foreign manufacturers, agro-processors, and infrastructure developers, the 24-Hour Economy model offers a compelling operational template characterized by maximized factory capacity utilization, optimized utility structures, and compressed logistical timelines.
The strategy is heavily supported by targeted state regulatory incentives, streamlined export protocols, and enhanced public security frameworks to ensure operational continuity.
Investment Mapping
Complementing the round-the-clock economic blueprint is the formal introduction of the Investment Opportunities Mapping Project (IOMP), which serves as an advanced, data-driven diagnostic tool developed by the country to properly identify, profile, and present highly bankable, district-level projects across multiple economic sectors.
Utilizing the IOMP framework during the webinar, the GIPC will provide global investors with pre-feasibility data, land availability profiles, and localized raw material supply metrics. This approach reduces initial exploratory friction for foreign firms, allowing asset managers to easily identify verified industrial openings that align perfectly with international standards.
Moreover, by establishing a direct communications link with Swiss private sector representatives, the webinar aims to anchor sustainable technology transfers and secure long-term capital commitments.
Swiss enterprises, historically recognized for their global leadership in precision machinery, sustainable agribusiness technologies, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and financial services, are viewed as vital structural partners capable of accelerating Ghana’s domestic industrial modernization.
This virtual engagement serves as an important entry point for broader European corporate entities looking to securely position capital within the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) marketplace, using Accra as their primary operational and logistical launchpad.
The dialogue will ensure that specific questions regarding capital repatriation, local content regulations, infrastructure access, and tax incentives are answered in real time by the state’s top investment officials.
For MoTAI and GIPC, the July 9 digital seminar is not an isolated promotional event, but rather part of a continuous, year-round sovereign strategy executed in collaboration with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, for global investors across Europe, North America, and other major regional hubs looking to tap into expanding West African commercial markets.
The government is paying close attention to mobilizing capital from overseas businesses and professionals within the global diaspora network, to successfully integrate diaspora wealth into the formal domestic financial system.
Through these specialized regulatory channels, diaspora corporate entities receive clear guidance on navigating the operational frameworks of the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE) and the statutory compliance requirements enforced by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
This transparency ensures that incoming investment capital is legally protected, structurally secure, and optimally positioned to drive the next phase of Ghana’s sovereign agribusiness and industrial growth.
