Mahama to address investors at Ghana-UK Investment Summit 2026 on June 1

President John Dramani Mahama will address investors at the Ghana–UK Investment Summit 2026, which is scheduled to take place from June 1 to June 2, 2026, at the historic Raffles in London.

According to a report by 3news.com on May 5, 2026, the Ghana High Commission to the United Kingdom and Ireland has announced this two-day economic forum, themed “Restoring Investor Confidence to Unlock Opportunities and Shared Prosperity.”

The summit aims to bring together government officials, global institutional investors, industry leaders, and development finance experts to strengthen economic cooperation, forge strategic partnerships, and unlock investment opportunities between Ghana and the United Kingdom.

President Mahama is expected to deliver the keynote address. Under his "Reset Agenda," Ghana is pursuing policies focused on transparency, economic resilience, fiscal discipline, and stronger collaboration with international investors.

Participants will also have access to bilateral meetings, sector-specific investment roundtables, and the opportunity for direct engagement with senior government officials.

Why Ghana? Why Now?

Ghana stands out as one of West Africa’s most stable democracies and one of its fastest-growing emerging economies.

With a youthful, English-speaking population, a strong legal framework, and a strategic position within the ECOWAS sub-region, the country serves as a gateway to a consumer market of over 400 million people.

The presence of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Secretariat in Accra further enhances access to a continental market valued at approximately $3.4 trillion.

The summit will highlight investment opportunities across six key sectors: Agribusiness; Trade and Infrastructure Financing; Real Estate; Fintech, Digital Assets, and Innovation (including Business Process Outsourcing); Energy and Green Transition; Critical Minerals and Carbon Markets.

The event is organised by the Ghana High Commission to the UK and Ireland in collaboration with the Ministry of Trade, Agribusiness, and Industry, and the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC).

Supporting partners include the British High Commission in Accra, the UK-Ghana Chamber of Commerce (UKGCC), and Invest Africa, reflecting the strong economic ties between Ghana and the United Kingdom.

Diaspora Townhall Before Summit

Before the summit, President Mahama will participate in a Ghana Diaspora Town Hall Meeting on Sunday, May 31, 2026.

Hosted by Ghana’s High Commissioner to the UK and Ireland, Sabah Zita Benson, this event will provide members of the Ghanaian diaspora with an opportunity to engage directly with the President on national development priorities and the role of diaspora investment in Ghana’s transformation agenda.
