The Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC) has stepped up efforts to attract Finnish investment into Ghana’s priority sectors following a high-level engagement with representatives of Laaru Consulting and the Honorary Consulate of Finland in Accra aimed at strengthening bilateral trade, investment and business cooperation.
The meeting, led by GIPC Deputy Chief Executive Officer A. Razak Baba, focused on expanding collaboration in sectors considered central to Ghana’s economic transformation, including renewable energy, agriculture, mineral processing, manufacturing, logistics, recycling and digital infrastructure.
Addressing the delegation, Mr Baba outlined the country’s growing investment potential and highlighted flagship initiatives such as the Investment Opportunity Mapping Project and the Volta River Economic Corridor as strategic platforms for investors seeking opportunities in Ghana.
The discussions also explored prospects for Finnish participation in clean energy, waste-to-energy projects, recycling and water transportation, areas that continue to attract government attention as part of efforts to build a sustainable and resilient economy.
Participants further examined financing mechanisms capable of unlocking viable investment projects while strengthening public-private partnerships to accelerate infrastructure development and industrial growth.
The engagement forms part of GIPC’s broader investment promotion strategy to position Ghana as a preferred destination for foreign direct investment by fostering stronger partnerships with international businesses and institutions.
Officials expressed optimism that enhanced cooperation between Ghana and Finland would create opportunities for technology transfer, innovation, job creation and sustainable economic development, while further strengthening the long-standing relationship between the two countries.
