Three Platforms. One Stage. Where Africa’s Builders, Power Players & Investors Converge.
Capital is moving toward West Africa, and from 7–9 July 2026, The Palms Convention Centre in Accra is where it will be deployed. The 7th Ghana Investment and Trade Week, co-located with the 4th Africa Build Show and the 3rd Megawatt Africa, brings together three powerful platforms around a single investment agenda: financing Ghana’s round-the-clock economy through infrastructure, electric mobility, and sustainable real estate. For investors, developers, and dealmakers, this is where Ghana’s growth story is transformed into bankable projects, strategic partnerships, and measurable returns.
Ghana’s 24-Hour Economy is the policy engine behind GITW 2026, a national push to keep industry, energy, logistics and services running around the clock, and the investment thesis that runs through all three days:
- Day 1 powers into Ghana’s 24-Hour Economy financing, PPP models, energy systems and EV mobility anchored by Presidential Advisor Hon. Augustus Goosie Tannoh.
- Day 2 turns to industry, innovation and investment, featuring the EV ecosystem panel moderated by Franklin Amese, founder of Digital Alor, the AfCFTA growth catalyst, and a live Startup World Cup Pitch with the top 10 finalists.
- Day 3 closes on sustainability, skills and future growth, positioning Ghana as a regional hub for infrastructure, EV and real estate capital.
Over the three days, B2B matchmaking, one-on-one trade negotiations, and diplomatic engagement sessions put buyers, builders, financiers, and policymakers directly across the table.
“West Africa is no longer an emerging opportunity it is a present one. At MIE Group, we built Ghana Investment and Trade Week to put serious capital, policy and industry in the same room, because that is how real economies are constructed. Accra in July is where intent becomes investment.”
– David Wang, Chairman, MIE Group
