Access Bank Ghana, in partnership with Litina Travel & Tour, will lead a delegation of Ghanaian businesses to Istanbul, Turkey, from August 11 to 18, 2025, for an intensive week of trade, networking, and cross-border collaboration.

The mission, which includes participation in the prestigious WCI Forum, will bring together industry leaders from Ghana, Turkey, and around the world for B2B meetings, industrial zone and company visits, showroom tours, and curated networking events.
Delegates will explore key sectors such as construction, building and roofing materials, agricultural products and equipment, industrial and heavy-duty machinery, oil and gas, among others.

Beyond formal meetings, the program will include cultural and networking experiences such as the Istanbul shopping tour and Bosphorus yacht tour designed to foster personal connections that strengthen business relationships.

Speaking ahead of the event, Head of Women Banking at Access Bank (Ghana) PLC, Roselind Akko said “Access Bank is committed to opening doors for Ghanaian entrepreneurs, particularly women in business, to scale beyond borders. This trade mission offers our clients direct access to global markets, innovative technologies, and high-value partnerships. We believe such initiatives are essential to driving sustainable business growth and positioning Ghanaian enterprises competitively on the world stage.”

The trade mission underscores Access Bank’s dedication to enabling the growth of local businesses by connecting them with international partners, sharing market intelligence, and facilitating mutually beneficial trade relationships to promote diversification in the wake of trade tariffs.
