The 6th Volta Trade and Investment Fair-2023 scheduled to take off on Sunday 26th November 2023 is gathering momentum, three days to the grand opening.

Over 200 indigenous and foreign companies are expected to exhibit their products at the fair which would be hosted at the Jubilee Park in Ho.

The Fair aims to build stronger, more sustainable, and prosperous local economies on the African Continent while leveraging the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).

Several exciting features have been slated alongside the main exhibition of products, artifacts, and tourist sites among others in the Volta Region.

There would be an opening ceremony to set the tone for the two-week Fair, which promises to be an exciting one, providing a platform for business, networking, and learning.

The leading institution in charge of the Fair, the Association of Ghana Industries, would host its national Annual General Meeting in Ho, as part of the activities of the fair. It is themed "Industrialization through Sustainable & Efficient Supply Chains."

The Fair would also celebrate and empower women entrepreneurs, with the 1st Volta Women's Entrepreneurs Summit on the theme "Navigating New Frontiers: Women Entrepreneurs Delivering the AfCFTA Vision."

The 2nd Youth Entrepreneurs Summit, aimed at providing a common platform to nurture youth entrepreneurs would be held under the theme "Bridging New Borders: Amplifying Youth Entrepreneurship in the AfCFTA Era."

Organizers have noticed the core role of sports in the growth of the economy, hence have designed the Sports Investment Summit & Award, to highlight investment opportunities and the imperative need to nurture talents. Key personalities in the field of sports have been paneled to lead insightful discussions at the forum.
