WTC Accra drives Ghana's investment push at Global Business Forum

World Trade Centre Accra has led a high-level Ghanaian delegation to the 2026 WTCA Global Business Forum 2026 in Philadelphia, United States, following a pre-departure briefing in Accra.

The forum, scheduled for April 19–22, will bring together global business leaders, investors, and trade organisations to explore investment opportunities and partnerships.

The Ghanaian delegation comprises key private sector players and institutional partners across sectors including pharmaceuticals, energy, agribusiness, automotive, FMCG, advisory, and industrial development.

Participating organisations include the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre, the 24 Hour Economy Authority, United Nations Industrial Development Organization, BioForma Sciences, Rik Energy, Africa Label Group, B Adams Trading Enterprise, Genuine Services Centre, Infant Prodigy Limited, and the Chamber of African Blue Economy.

WTC Accra is leading Ghana’s participation with a focus on deal-making, investment attraction, and building strategic partnerships.

Togbe Afede XIV, Executive Chairman of WTC Accra and Board Member of the WTCA, said the forum presents a critical opportunity to position Ghana globally.

“Ghana’s future competitiveness will be defined by how effectively we connect our economy to global capital, technology, and markets. Platforms like the WTCA Global Business Forum are not simply events, they are strategic instruments for positioning Ghana within the architecture of global trade and investment,” Togbe Afede XIV said.

Chief Executive Officer of GIPC, Simon Madjie, said participation in the forum aligns with efforts to attract investment into priority sectors.

“As Ghana’s investment promotion agency, GIPC’s role is to attract and facilitate capital into priority sectors of the economy. Our participation in the WTCA Global Business Forum is important because it provides direct access to credible investors, allowing us to present bankable opportunities and accelerate investment inflows into Ghana,” Madjie noted.

Managing Director of WTC Accra, Yvonne Y. Botchey, noted that the organisation is focused on driving tangible business outcomes.

“At World Trade Centre Accra, our mandate is to facilitate trade and investment by connecting businesses to real opportunities across markets. Our participation in the WTCA Global Business Forum reflects this role; we are deploying a structured platform to originate transactions, align partners, and advance commercially viable deals for Ghana,” Yvonne Botchey said.

The delegation was prepared through a structured process led by WTC Accra, with Head of Trade and Investment Services, Jeffrey Odame Yeboah, playing a key role in aligning sector priorities and deal pathways.

WTC Accra is also expected to anchor a Ghana exhibition presence at the forum, alongside GIPC and the 24 Hour Economy Authority, to showcase the country’s trade, investment, and industrial opportunities.
