Feature: The Ghana Club 100

The Ghana Club 100 (GC 100) is an annual compilation of the top 100 companies in Ghana to give due recognition to successful enterprise building and was launched in 1998 by the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC).

The GC 100 is about corporate excellence. Companies making it into the GC 100 are to serve as role models for the private sector and provide a forum for corporate Ghana to interact with the government at a high level.

The 16th Edition

The 16th Edition of the GC100 Awards is scheduled to take place on 10th November 2017 at the Kempinski Gold Coast Hotel under the theme “Industrialization – A Tool For Job Creation And Accelerated Economic Development”.
