The fair, which is slated for April this year, is to promote industry and made-in-Ghana products and services – and also showcase the potential industrial technologies available in the Ashanti and Brong-Ahafo regions.<\/p>\n
Products and technologies to be showcased are pharmaceuticals, wood products, textiles and garments, construction and metal fabrication, processed foods, aluminium products, soap, toiletries and detergents, plastic and rubber products as well as research and innovative materials and products from educational institutions.<\/p>\n
The choice of the two regions has been informed by the strategic and competitive advantage they economically provide to made-in-Ghana products, aside from being the breadbaskets of Ghana and home to many Small and Medium-scale Enterprises (SMEs)\/cottage industries.<\/p>\n
AGI seeks to give the necessary exposure to the local industries at the fair so as to make them visible to the public, who will in turn endorse their products and services for easy acceptability to the local market.<\/p>\n
With the availability of a heavily-patronised and matured market in Kumasi serving the northern sector, parts of the southern belt and neighboring Burkina Faso, it is envisaged that the event will succeed in promoting made-in-Ghana products and technology not only in the two regions, but across the length and breadth of Ghana and beyond.<\/p>\n
The GIPC consultant, Mr. Philip Quansah, said the project is one that has the possibility of increasing sales, hence enabling the industries to invest more and also generate the needed employment opportunities whilst attracting investors.<\/p>\n
GIPC promises support services to ensure that the investment prospects are sustained for the industrial growth of Kumasi.
The AGI is collaborating with consultants from the planning department of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) for advanced technological advice.<\/p>\n
