The Economic Development Board (EDB) Mauritius, the apex investment promotion institution of the Government of Mauritius, will host a high-level, closed Business Forum in Accra, in partnership with the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC).
The Forum, themed, ‘Mauritius: Your Strategic Platform for Ghanaian Capital, Growth and Global Expansion’, will convene senior representatives from leading Mauritian financial institutions alongside Ghana’s top business executives, investors, and policymakers for a structured programme of strategic sessions and direct engagement.
The event is open to C-Suite executives, directors, senior partners, prominent investors, and relevant government and institutional stakeholders by invitation.
The Accra Forum forms part of a wider three-country corridor initiative spanning Lagos (18th May), Abidjan (21st May), and Accra (22nd May), reflecting EDB Mauritius’ commitment to deepening investment linkages across West Africa’s most influential economic centres.
Ghana’s inclusion as the concluding stop on this corridor underscores its standing as a stable, high-growth investment destination of increasing regional significance.
The Forum arrives at a pivotal moment for Ghana’s economy. Following a period of macroeconomic adjustment, Ghana’s financial sector and broader business environment are experiencing a measurable resurgence in investor interest, project development activity, and appetite for cross-border capital. EDB Mauritius intends to be an active partner in that recovery and growth trajectory.
As a globally recognised International Financial Centre (IFC), Mauritius offers Ghanaian businesses a proven and well-regulated platform for structuring cross-border investments, preserving capital, and accessing international markets.
The delegation arriving in Accra will comprise senior representatives from approximately 20 Mauritian financial institutions, including Tier-1 banks, fund managers, corporate service providers, and regulated wealth management firms, each with demonstrated capacity across debt capital, equity capital, mezzanine, blended, and bridge financing structures.
The Forum will present Ghanaian enterprises with direct access to financing solutions across short, medium, and long-term horizons, alongside pathways to fund domiciliation, asset management, insurance, venture capital, private equity, and capital markets structuring through the Mauritius jurisdiction.
While the Forum’s scope spans multiple industries, including oil and gas, agriculture, renewable energy, manufacturing, and engineering, the programme will carry a concentrated focus on Ghana’s financial services sector.
Banking institutions, investment funds, insurance companies, fintech firms, law firms, and accountancy practices are among the priority participants the Mauritian delegation is seeking to engage for substantive, outcome-oriented discussions.
The objective is not merely introductory engagement. Preferred outcomes from the Forum include executed Memoranda of Understanding, Term Sheets, and Letters of Intent that lay the foundation for recurring cross-border investment activity between Mauritius and Ghana.
The Forum will be attended by Dr. Mrs. Jyoti Jeetun, Minister of Financial Services and Economic Planning of the Republic of Mauritius, whose participation at the highest level of government reflects Mauritius’ strategic intent and long-term commitment to the Ghanaian market.
The Forum will also be attended by Mr. Simon Madjie, Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC), whose participation as Supporting Partner underscores the Ghanaian government’s endorsement of the initiative and its confidence in the strategic value of deeper Ghana-Mauritius investment cooperation.
