The Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC), Simon Madjie, has outlined a “win-win” investment strategy aimed at strengthening economic ties between Ghana and the United States during a high-level engagement with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in Washington, D.C.

The meeting builds on President John Dramani Mahama’s 2025 visit to Nasdaq on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly, where Ghana was positioned as “open for business” through the U.S.-Ghana Executive Business Roundtable.

Discussions at the meeting focused on key investment opportunities across sectors including energy security, renewable energy, electric vehicles, digital infrastructure, 5G technology, and the broader digital economy.

Other priority areas highlighted were the government’s 1 Million Coders programme and the National Artificial Intelligence Strategy.

Mr. Madjie noted that more than 120 U.S. companies are currently operating in Ghana, spanning industries such as oil and gas, mining, manufacturing, and technology.

He cited major firms including Newmont, Coca-Cola, Microsoft, and American Tower Corporation (ATC) as examples of Ghana’s strong appeal to international investors.

He emphasised Ghana’s strategic ambition to remain a preferred gateway for U.S. businesses seeking entry into the African market, supported by its position within the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) and trade partnerships with the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, and ECOWAS.

Mr. Madjie also commended the U.S. Chamber of Commerce for its continued role in encouraging American businesses to consider Ghana as a primary investment destination in Africa.

In her remarks, Kendra Gaither of the U.S.-Africa Business Centre described the Chamber as “the home of American business” and reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening commercial relations between the United States and Africa.
