The Ghana Investment Promotion Authority (GIPA) has engaged prospective investors in Egypt to explore opportunities in Ghana’s healthcare, manufacturing and agro-processing sectors, as the country intensifies efforts to attract investment and build regional value chains.
The engagement took place at the inaugural Alamein Africa Forum in New Alamein City, Egypt, where GIPA joined Ghana’s delegation at the event organised by the Egyptian government in collaboration with the African Union and Afreximbank.
President John Dramani Mahama, delivering a keynote address on “Investing in Health: Manufacturing and Regional Value Chains”, highlighted the potential of the health sector to drive job creation, industrial development and economic stability.
Led by Ms Afua Tekyi-Mills, Head of GIPA’s Marketing and Communications Division, the authority’s team held discussions with prospective investors on opportunities in agro-processing, manufacturing, real estate, healthcare and tourism.
The team also promoted the maiden Invest Ghana Summit, which is expected to showcase investment opportunities in the country and facilitate strategic partnerships between Ghana and international investors.
