Simon Madjie (2nd L) with some stakeholders
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC), Simon Madjie, has called on Canadian investors to take advantage of investment opportunities in Ghana’s cocoa processing, pharmaceuticals, renewable energy and other sectors as part of efforts to deepen economic ties between the two countries.
Mr. Madjie made the call at the Invest Ghana Business Forum and Exhibition in Toronto, Canada, where Ghanaian officials engaged Canadian businesses on investment opportunities across key sectors of the economy.
He said Ghana’s abundant natural resources, youthful population and strategic access to West African markets make the country an attractive destination for investors seeking to expand their operations on the continent.
According to the GIPC boss, Ghana is prioritising value addition across key sectors to drive industrial growth and attract foreign direct investment.
He added that Ghana and Canada continue to enjoy strong trade relations, with Canadian investment already present in sectors including services, manufacturing, agriculture, construction and tourism.
The event, organised by the GIPC, the Ghana Export Promotion Authority, the Ghana Free Zones Authority and the Ghana Export-Import Bank, with support from the Ghana High Commission in Canada and the High Commission of Canada to Ghana, seeks, among other objectives, to deepen business-to-business engagement and strengthen partnerships between Ghanaian and Canadian investors.
“It forms part of Ghana’s broader investment promotion drive as the country participates in ongoing engagements around the 2026 FIFA World Cup,” the CEO noted.
