Business
Mr. Simon Madjie

The Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC) will today, 10th July 2025, launch the Investment Opportunity Mapping Project (IOMP), a landmark initiative aimed at unlocking untapped investment potential across all 261 districts in Ghana’s 16 regions.

This marks the first time a comprehensive, district-level investment mapping exercise is being undertaken in the country.

Under the leadership of GIPC's Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Simon Madjie, the IOMP seeks to identify, assess, and document viable opportunities at the local level, offering data-driven insights to guide both domestic and foreign investment in key sectors such as agribusiness, manufacturing, tourism, energy, and services.

The initiative aligns with broader national efforts to stimulate job creation and drive sustainable economic development. 

The President, John Dramani Mahama, has prioritised policies that promote industrialisation, infrastructure development, and digital transformation, critical pillars in building a competitive, investor-friendly business environment.

The IOMP is being implemented in partnership with the Ministry of Trade and Industry, the Ministry of Food and Agriculture, and the Ghana Export Promotion Authority (GEPA).
