The Chief Executive Officer of GhanaWeb, David Antwi, has said that Ghana possesses immense untapped potential, largely due to a lack of awareness about available opportunities.
According to him, the opportunities within Ghana’s business landscape must be effectively showcased to both Ghanaian and non-Ghanaian investors.
Speaking on the sidelines of a partnership meeting between GhanaWeb and the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC) on May 29, 2025, Mr. Antwi noted that the collaboration aligns with the President’s agenda to attract both foreign and local investments into the country.
He stated, “We at GhanaWeb are very proud to be part of this collaboration with such an esteemed organisation. We hope to serve as a vehicle to promote their programmes both within and outside of Ghana. We are committed to attracting investment from all angles, be it internal or external.”
“When we talk about external investment, we’re referring not only to foreigners who have heard a lot about Ghana but also to Ghanaians in the diaspora who want to return home and do business. Many of them have the capital to invest, and as the Deputy CEO of GIPC said, we want to facilitate and support that process. To echo President Mahama’s words, Ghana is open for business,” Mr. Antwi further explained.
With Ghana’s economy continuing to show signs of recovery, David Antwi stressed that the business climate is also improving. He mentioned that it is time to showcase Ghana’s full potential to the world through GhanaWeb.
“But if the doors are open and people don’t know where to go, what to do, or how to do it, then opportunities will be missed. This collaboration with GIPC will help provide direction and clarity for investors, ensuring they can do business the right way. That will ultimately benefit both the investors and Ghanaians, whether they are living in Ghana or abroad,” he added.
David Antwi continued, “Sometimes people assume that investing in Africa comes with too many uncertainties, or that they won’t find the right structures. But under the leadership of His Excellency President Dramani Mahama, we are committed to creating an environment where investors can expect international standards of business culture and practice. Africa is ready, and Ghana is leading the way.”
The Deputy CEO of GIPC, Abdul Razak Baba, welcomed the partnership and stated that it will strengthen the relationship between the two institutions and play a key role in enhancing investment in the country.
