Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC), Mr. Simon Madjie (Esq.), has underscored Ghana’s determination to strengthen strategic partnerships with international investors and unlock new opportunities across key sectors of the economy.

He made the remarks at a private business roundtable in Accra with a visiting delegation from the American-Jewish Committee (AJC), led by Mr. Stan Bergman, Board Chairman and CEO of Henry Schein.

The high-level delegation is in the country to explore potential investment prospects and engage with Ghanaian enterprises.

Mr. Madjie noted that under his leadership, GIPC is pursuing wide-ranging reforms—including a review of the GIPC Act—to streamline investment processes, enhance the business environment and bolster investor confidence.

“Ghana is open for business, and we are creating an environment where investors can thrive,” he said.

He highlighted opportunities in agriculture, manufacturing and the emerging carbon markets, stressing that these sectors are not only profitable but also central to the nation’s long-term development agenda.

“These sectors are not just profitable—they are central to Ghana’s growth story.

There is a real opportunity for investors who want to be part of that journey,” he added.

Mr. Madjie also referenced key government-led initiatives that are positioning Ghana as a competitive investment destination.

These include President John Mahama’s 24-Hour Economy initiative, designed to enhance productivity and expand job creation by enabling businesses to operate around the clock, as well as the proposed “Big Push” programme aimed at closing infrastructure gaps and supporting resilient economic growth.

“With initiatives like the 24-Hour Economy and the Big Push, we are not just opening doors—we are building pathways for sustainable growth,” he noted.

During their visit, the AJC delegation was taken through Ghana’s digitalised business registration system and interacted with local entrepreneurs, gaining firsthand insight into the improvements in ease of doing business and the opportunities available within the Ghanaian market.
