In his opening remarks, GIPA CEO, Mr Simon Madjie, emphasised the importance of working closely with stakeholders to implement the new law and highlighted the role of Technology Transfer Agreements (TTAs) and the Investor Grievance Mechanism in strengthening the investment framework.

Mr Emmanuel Forson, Head of Investor Services and Exemptions, and Mr Emmanuel Osei, Head of the Technology Transfer Agreement Department, subsequently took stakeholders through registration and renewal under the new Act and GIPA’s expanded mandate on technology transfer.

The Ghana Investment Promotion Authority (GIPA) today held its Focal Persons Forum, bringing together representatives from key Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) to strengthen collaboration and enhance the investor experience in Ghana.

Welcoming participants, Deputy CEO of GIPA, Mr Abdul Razak Baba, highlighted the important role of the Aftercare and Investor Grievance Division in supporting investors and emphasised the need for GIPA and relevant MDAs to work seamlessly to provide clear and timely feedback when investor issues arise.
He noted that the network of focal persons across MDAs will serve as key institutional contacts and a bridge between GIPA and investors. He further emphasised that the network is particularly important under the new GIPA Act, 2026 (Act 1173) and its investor grievance mechanism.

The Head of Aftercare and Investor Grievance, Mr Charles Opoku Mensah, then called for a stronger relationship between GIPA and the MDAs, moving from a transactional to a more collaborative and sustained partnership.

Ms Anita Ofori, Deputy Director of the Division, subsequently provided an overview of the Investor Grievance Mechanism under Section 43 of the new Act, while Ms Vera Adjei of the Legal Division took participants through key provisions of the legislation.

The Forum provided an opportunity to strengthen the collaboration needed to address investor concerns more effectively and ensure a more coordinated and responsive approach to supporting businesses operating in Ghana.

The Ghana Investment Promotion Authority (GIPA) has wrapped up its Regional Investment Roadshow in Sunyani, with an investment forum that brought local leaders and business owners together to deliberate on investment opportunities across the Bono Region.

Opening the forum, Bono Regional Minister Hon. Joseph Addae Akwaboa welcomed GIPA’s drive to attract capital to the region. He emphasized that targeted investments in industrial processing and value addition will reduce post-harvest losses, help farmers reach better markets, create jobs for women and youth, and power the government’s 24-Hour Economy program.

​Adding traditional backing to the initiative, the Omanhene of the Sunyani Traditional Area, Odeefuor Ogyeamansan Boahen Korkor II, highlighted the region’s rich resources. He then stressed that a disciplined mindset is essential to build trust with investors and drive real economic progress.

Addressing the audience, GIPA Deputy CEO A. Razak Baba outlined the investment climate and specific opportunities in the Bono Region. He further pointed out that the region has historically received only a tiny fraction of the $52 billion in foreign direct investment attracted by Ghana over the years, he reaffirmed the Centre's commitment to shifting that trend and positioning Bono as a primary investment destination.

​The forum ended with two pitch sessions, showcasing ready-to-fund local projects.
