President John Dramani Mahama
President John Dramani Mahama will on October 21, 2025, officially launch the Gomoa Central Special Economic Zone (GCSEZ), a $1.5 billion development project expected to create 60,000 jobs and boost Ghana’s industrial and digital economy.
The project, covering 21,000 acres, will jointly be managed by the Gomoa Central Development Trust with support from the Ghana Free Zones Authority, and forms part of efforts to advance Ghana’s 24-hour economy vision.
According to Member of Parliament for Gomoa Central, Kwame Asare Obeng, the initiative goes beyond industrialisation.
“What we’re building in Gomoa Central isn’t just another industrial park. It’s a complete ecosystem that proves sustainability and profitability can thrive together,” he said.

He noted that the zone will feature a 24-hour business district, eco-recreational park, organic farming zones, an eco-industrial hub housing up to 200 factories, and a renewable energy-powered crypto mining facility expected to generate over $100 million annually.
The GCSEZ will also serve as a digital trade platform for AfCFTA, using blockchain technology to facilitate transactions across 54 African countries.
“This project represents the future we’ve been working towards,” Obeng added.
He continued, “It’s about showing that Ghana can lead Africa into a new era of green industrialisation, digital innovation, and inclusive prosperity.”
The launch is expected to take place at the Mövenpick Ambassador Hotel in Accra at 6 p.m., with dignitaries including Speaker of Parliament Rt. Hon. Alban Bagbin, Presidential Advisor on the 24-hour Economy, Goosie Tanoh, GJA President Albert Kwabena Dwumfour, and international investors in attendance.
