Residents, exhibitors, and partners are brimming with anticipation as the Northern Business Fair 2025 prepares to open in Tamale today, Saturday, October 25.
All roads will lead to the Tamale Sports Stadium, where the city will host one of Ghana’s most anticipated trade and innovation events from Saturday, October 25, to Sunday, October 26, 2025. The fair is expected to transform Tamale into a vibrant hub of commerce, creativity, and opportunity.
From handwoven smocks and traditional crafts to modern packaging technologies and agro-processing innovations, the fair promises to celebrate Northern enterprise in a dynamic blend of culture and innovation.
Exhibitors from across the Northern Region say they are eager to take advantage of the Channel One TV and Citi FM platform to showcase their products to a wider national audience.
Lydia Konlan, CEO of Rising SheFarms, said her company plans to use the fair to expand its mushroom business beyond the local market.
“The expectation is for us to leverage this platform to reach more consumers — people who didn’t know about mushrooms should be able to find us here. This can also translate into more sales,” she said.
Another exhibitor, Dr. Daniel Gyamfi, Executive Director of Savanna Opticals and Eyewear, shared similar enthusiasm.
“I expect people to come and find what they’ve been looking for all these years without realizing it was right here in Tamale,” he said.
“Personally, I expect that as I onboard the Channel One flight, it will take me higher than I’ve ever been.”
The Regional Manager of the Ghana Enterprises Agency (GEA), Bukari Mohammed, described the event as a “rare opportunity” for local businesses to gain exposure and expand their markets.
“This is a very rare opportunity, so when something like this comes, you have to make good use of it. For individual entrepreneurs, marketing and accessing new markets can be very expensive,” he noted.
He added that GEA’s partnership with Channel One TV and Citi FM aligns with the agency’s mission to empower entrepreneurs and strengthen the SME ecosystem across Northern Ghana.
The Northern Business Fair 2025 is expected to draw thousands of participants and visitors from across Ghana, underscoring the Northern Region’s growing contribution to national economic transformation.
Organised by Channel One TV and Citi FM, the two-day fair will showcase Made-in-Ghana excellence—bringing together small and medium enterprises, startups, research institutions, and indigenous brands from the Savannah, Northern, North East, Upper East, and Upper West Regions.
The Northern Business Fair 2025 is powered by Channel One TV and Citi FM, and proudly sponsored by Ecobank, Syde Hassle, the Ghana Enterprises Agency (GEA), and the Ghana Export Promotion Authority (GEPA), with support from Kacstone Records.
