The newly constituted Governing Board of the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC), chaired by Mr. Akwasi Opong-Fosu, has set its sights on making Ghana a leading destination for quality investments.
At the Board’s inaugural meeting held at the GIPC headquarters in Accra, Mr. Opong-Fosu assured staff that the Board’s role would go beyond traditional oversight to active partnership with management and employees.
“We are here not just for oversight,” he said. “We want to partner with you to drive Ghana’s economic transformation.”
He cited the government’s Reset Agenda and the 24-Hour Economy initiative as key areas where the Centre’s work will be crucial.
With decades of experience in governance, policy coordination, and public sector reform, Mr. Opong-Fosu stressed that attracting high-value investments requires strategic planning, innovation, and strong collaboration across stakeholders.
GIPC Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Simon Madjie, described the meeting as “a pivotal moment” for the Centre, noting that the Board’s combined expertise would help shape impactful investment strategies to accelerate national development.
Staff welcomed the new leadership with optimism, expressing hope that the Board’s approach would strengthen partnerships, boost investor confidence, and enhance Ghana’s global competitiveness in the investment arena.
