The Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC) is set to embark on a nationwide initiative to drive economic transformation and empower local communities through its upcoming Regional Investment Roadshows.
Anchored in the Centre’s Investment Opportunity Mapping Project (IOMP), the Roadshows aim to highlight investment-ready projects across all 261 districts of Ghana, with a strategic focus on regional diversification and inclusive economic development.
The initiative seeks to attract private capital to viable projects in key sectors such as manufacturing, agribusiness, tourism, and renewable energy—sectors that hold significant potential for high economic returns and job creation at the community level.

The Roadshows will be held under the theme: “Driving Local Investment – Unlocking Regional Potential.”
According to a statement issued in Accra, the first leg of the Roadshows will begin in the Volta and Oti Regions from October 27 to October 30, 2025, with events scheduled at the University of Health and Allied Sciences (UHAS) in Ho and the Bosatsu Hotel in Dambai, respectively.
Through curated business-to-business (B2B) engagements, company visits, project presentations, and evaluations of the 24H+ initiative, the Roadshows will connect local entrepreneurs with prospective investors—fostering partnerships that strengthen value chains, drive innovation, and build resilient regional economies.
Ahead of the launch, Dr. Akwasi Opong-Fosu, Board Chairman of GIPC, engaged Members of Parliament, including the Volta and Oti Regional Caucus, to discuss the initiative’s objectives and solicit parliamentary support for regional investment promotion. The meeting underscored the importance of legislative backing to ensure the success of the Roadshows and the broader economic goals of the regions.
Members of Parliament from both regions commended the GIPC for the initiative and pledged their unwavering support to make the programme a success.
Mr Julius Debrah, Chief of Staff, will deliver the keynote address on behalf of President John Dramani Mahama, reaffirming government’s commitment to inclusive growth and regional empowerment.
Mr Simon Madjie, Chief Executive Officer of GIPC, will also present a range of viable investment opportunities in the two regions, aligned with President Mahama’s 24-Hour Economy Policy, which seeks to promote industrial transformation and economic resilience through strong public-private collaboration.
“By linking regional projects to national economic goals, the Roadshows will contribute to increased GDP, improved infrastructure, and enhanced livelihoods,” Mr. Madjie stated.
Serving as a precursor to the Ghana International Investment Summit (GIIS) scheduled for 2026, the GIPC Regional Investment Roadshows will reinforce Ghana’s position as a premier destination for global investment while promoting inclusive regional development.
