The Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC), Mr. Simon Madjie, has called on Ghana’s newly appointed Special Envoys to play a frontline role in attracting foreign direct investment and strengthening the country’s reputation as a premier destination for global capital.

Addressing the Envoys during a three-day orientation programme organised by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Foreign Service Institute, Mr. Madjie urged them to identify credible investors and connect them with the relevant institutions and decision-makers back home.

He stressed that their proactive engagement would be crucial in driving investor confidence and unlocking new opportunities.

Mr. Madjie encouraged the Envoys to support major national investment initiatives, particularly the upcoming Invest in Ghana Summit 2026, which aims to showcase the nation’s economic potential to the international community.

He highlighted Ghana’s flagship programmes — the 24-Hour Economy and Accelerated Export Development (24H+), along with the Big Push Agenda — describing them as central pillars for economic expansion and excellent entry points for investor mobilisation.

The GIPC CEO further pointed to promising investment prospects across manufacturing, tourism, renewable energy, pharmaceuticals, critical minerals, and emerging green industries, noting that Ghana offers fertile ground for diversified and sustainable investments.

Outlining the incentives available to foreign investors, he cited tax holidays, duty exemptions, and strong legal safeguards designed to foster a business-friendly environment and sustain long-term partnerships.

Mr. Madjie concluded by assuring the Envoys of the GIPC’s unwavering support, pledging technical assistance, investment data, and facilitation services to enhance their effectiveness in driving investor engagement and contributing to Ghana’s economic growth.
