Ghana to showcase major investment projects as Dangote joins President Mahama at 2026 Invest Ghana Summit

Ghana is set to present a pipeline of investment-ready projects across agriculture, manufacturing, energy, transport, healthcare and tourism to international investors at the 2026 Invest Ghana Summit, as the government steps up efforts to attract capital into productive sectors of the economy.

The summit, scheduled for Monday, November 16 and Tuesday November 17 at the Kempinski Hotel, Gold Coast City, Accra, will bring together international investors, multinational corporations, policymakers and business leaders to explore opportunities for investment, partnerships and economic expansion.

A major attraction will be the participation of African industrialist and business magnet Aliko Dangote, who will join President John Dramani Mahama to open the summit.

Mr Dangote is expected to share insights from building one of Africa’s largest industrial conglomerates during a fireside conversation focusing on industrialisation, regional value chains and opportunities for expanding businesses across the continent.

President Mahama will subsequently deliver a keynote address outlining Ghana’s economic transformation agenda and its vision for investment-led growth, industrialisation and export expansion.

Organised by the Ghana Investment Promotion Authority (GIPA), the summit will be held under the theme, “Investing in Ghana’s New Economy: Building a Productive Economy that Creates Value and Competes Globally.”

The platform is expected to reinforce Ghana’s investment proposition and connect international capital with opportunities across manufacturing, agribusiness, infrastructure, energy, logistics, healthcare, mining, tourism, digital technology and the creative economy.

The government will also use the summit to showcase its US$10 billion investment programme for 2026 to 2030, which seeks to move the economy from stabilisation towards production-led growth, with major funding directed at agriculture, manufacturing, energy, mining value addition, tourism and other productive sectors.

The recently enacted Ghana Investment Promotion Authority Act, 2026 (Act 1173), which replaces the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre Act of 2013, will also feature as part of efforts to strengthen investment facilitation and improve support services for investors.

GIPA Chief Executive Officer, Simon Madjie, says Mr Dangote’s participation is a strong endorsement of Ghana’s economic potential and investment outlook. He believes the industrialist’s experience will enrich discussions on industrialisation, regional value chains and private-sector-led growth.

A key feature of the summit will be an Investor Facilitation Hub, bringing together 19 public institutions under one roof to provide real-time assistance with business registration, taxation, permits, immigration services, incentives, environmental approvals and other regulatory requirements.

The programme will also include an AfCFTA Investment Breakfast to explore opportunities within Africa’s single market, particularly industrialisation, regional value chains and investment facilitation. Discussions will also examine how businesses can leverage Ghana’s position as host of the AfCFTA Secretariat to expand across the continent.

GIPA says the summit is expected to stimulate business expansion, create jobs, drive industrialisation, promote technology transfer and unlock new export opportunities.

Mr Madjie says connecting investors directly with bankable projects and decision-makers will help turn investment interest into tangible economic outcomes for Ghana.

The summit is being convened by GIPA with support from the Ministry of Trade, Agribusiness and Industry; Ghana Export Promotion Authority; Bank of Ghana; Ghana Free Zones Authority; National AfCFTA Coordination Office; and the 24-Hour Economy and Accelerated Export Development Programme (24H+), in partnership with the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Finance.
