The Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC), Simon Madjie, has urged Ghana’s newly appointed Special Envoys to take a proactive role in attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) and positioning the country as a leading destination for global capital.
Speaking at a three-day orientation organised by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Foreign Service Institute, Mr Madjie encouraged the Envoys to identify credible investors and facilitate their engagement with key stakeholders.
He also called on them to actively support national investment platforms, including the upcoming Invest in Ghana Summit 2026, to showcase Ghana’s investment potential to the world.
Highlighting Ghana’s flagship initiatives, Mr Madjie spoke on the 24-Hour Economy and Accelerated Export Development (24H+) and the Big Push Agenda, describing them as vital drivers of economic growth and key touchpoints for investment promotion.
He further spotlighted opportunities across strategic sectors such as manufacturing, tourism, renewable energy, pharmaceuticals, critical minerals, and green industries, emphasizing the country’s potential for diversified investment.
Mr Madjie outlined available incentives for investors, including tax holidays, duty exemptions, and legal protections, designed to create a conducive business environment and encourage long-term engagement.
He concluded by assuring the Envoys of GIPC’s full support through technical assistance, investment data, and facilitation services, stressing the Centre’s commitment to ensuring successful investor engagement and sustainable economic growth in Ghana.
