The Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC) is set to drive economic transformation that empowers local communities through its upcoming Regional Investment Roadshows.
Anchored in the Centre’s Investment Opportunity Mapping Project (IOMP), the roadshows aim to spotlight investment-ready projects across Ghana’s 261 districts, with a strategic focus on regional diversification and economic development.
By showcasing opportunities in manufacturing, agribusiness, tourism, and renewable energy, the roadshows further aim to attract private capital to projects that promise high economic returns and job opportunities for local communities.
To be held on the theme, “Driving Local Investment – Unlocking Regional Potential,” the first leg of the roadshows will begin in the Volta and Oti Regions from 27th to 30th October 2025 at the University of Health and Allied Sciences (UHAS) in Ho, and at the Bosatsu Hotel in Dambai, respectively.
Through curated business-to-business (B2B) engagements, company visits, presentations of the 24H+, and project evaluations, the roadshows will connect local entrepreneurs with prospective investors, fostering partnerships that enhance value chains, drive innovation, and build resilient regional economies
Ahead of the roadshows, the GIPC led by its Board Chairman, engaged members of the Volta Regional Caucus and the Oti Regional Caucus in Parliament to discuss the initiative’s objectives and garner support for regional investment promotion.
The meeting emphasised the importance of parliamentary backing to ensure the success of the roadshows and the broader economic goals of the regions.

The Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah, will deliver the keynote address on behalf of President John Dramani Mahama, reaffirming the government’s commitment to inclusive growth and regional empowerment.
The CEO of GIPC, Simon Madjie, will also present viable investment opportunities in the region, aligned with President Mahama’s 24-Hour Economy policy, which promotes industrial transformation and economic resilience through robust public-private collaboration.
“By linking regional projects to national economic goals, the roadshows will contribute to increased GDP, improved infrastructure, and enhanced livelihoods,” he said.
