Kenneth Gilbert Adjei, the Minister for Works, Housing and Water Resources, will lead a delegation of government officials and top Ghanaian real estate stakeholders to the Canada edition of the Diaspora Property Expo (DPE 2025), scheduled for 24–25 May at the Delta Hotels Toronto Airport & Conference Centre in Toronto.

The Diaspora Property Expo (DPE) is one of Africa’s biggest real estate exhibitions, designed for Africans in the diaspora to explore property ownership and investment opportunities back home.

With the spotlight on Ghana for the 2025 edition, the United States segment was successfully held at 1735 Market Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, from 21–23 March.

DPE 2025 Canada was launched on 28 March at the Ghana Consulate in Toronto. In a speech, Consul General Peter Kobina Taylor emphasised the critical role of the diaspora in Ghana’s development. He underscored the importance of investment from Ghanaians abroad to drive the country’s economic growth, particularly within the real estate market.

Various speakers also highlighted the expo's mission to strengthen ties between Ghana and the Canadian diaspora while promoting sustainable and community-driven developments in Ghana.

All is now set for the main event, which will feature conferences, panel discussions, cultural showcases, and first-rate presentations from leaders in Ghana’s real estate space, state officials, and other stakeholders—all sharing valuable insights into how to make meaningful progress in Ghana’s real estate landscape.

According to Mr Verus Nartey, Executive Director of Diaspora Property Investment Ltd, the Toronto event will offer lively networking sessions where attendees will have the chance to engage with top developers, financial institutions, fellow investors, government officials, and other stakeholders from both Ghana and Canada.

In a message to attendees at the launch, Minister Kenneth Gilbert Adjei stated that Ghana’s real estate landscape is still evolving and that it recognises the diaspora as a key partner in shaping its future.

“Through initiatives like DPE 2025, we are building a bridge that connects the diaspora with verified, credible, and strategic property investment opportunities in Ghana. We invite our brothers and sisters in Canada to take advantage of this platform, and let’s work together to build not just homes, but a legacy of prosperity for generations to come,” the Minister stated.

The Minister was present in Philadelphia for the United States leg of DPE 2025 and will lead the Ghanaian delegation to the Canada edition.

The Chief Director of the Ministry, Rev. Yaw Osei, and the President of the Ghana Real Estate Developers Association (GREDA), Dr James Orleans Lindsay, will also be present at the Canadian event at the Delta Hotels Toronto Airport & Conference Centre, located at 655 Dixon Rd, Etobicoke, Toronto.
