GIPA secures investor leads at Invest Fest 2026

The Ghana Investment Promotion Authority (GIPA) secured investor leads at the Invest Fest 2026 held in Atlanta, United States. The event took place in sectors like real estate, tourism, and several others. Follow-up engagements are planned to delve deeper into these prospects. Manuela Adu, GIPA's Head of Protocol, led the delegation in the CEO's absence.

GIPA showcased opportunities in agriculture, manufacturing, energy, technology, tourism, hospitality, real estate, mining, infrastructure, and logistics. The 24-Hour Economy policy and the Volta Economic Corridor were highlighted as areas with investment potential, particularly in agriculture, agro-processing, and manufacturing.

Real estate and tourism received particular attention. GIPA also introduced the provisions of the Ghana Investment Promotion Authority Act, 2026 (Act 1173), including a citizenship-by-investment framework, which could enhance Ghana's appeal to high-net-worth investors. GIPA plans to implement these provisions alongside the Ministry of the Interior.

The delegation consisted of Principal Investment Promotion Officers Christopher Sedor and Bridget Odei, and Assistant Public Relations Officer Raphael Apetorgbor. Ghana's participation in Invest Fest was a collaboration with the Ghana Tourism Authority and private-sector partners Adansi Travel and Tours and Sunseekers Travel and Tours.

This engagement is part of GIPA's drive to promote Ghana as an investment destination and attract capital into key economic sectors.
