The Ghana International Expo and Investment Forum is in line with Ghana’s broader economic agenda to diversify exports, stimulate investment, and position the country as a competitive hub for trade, innovation, and tourism under the AfCFTA framework.
The Ghana International Expo and Investment Forum is an annual platform created to promote Ghanaian enterprise, trade, tourism, and strategic partnerships across Africa and globally. It aims to empower local industries and highlight Ghana as a dynamic, innovative, and investment-ready nation.
