All is set for the Akoma FM, TV3 and Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC), investment forum in Ashanti and Western North regions.
The three organisations are once again taking centre stage in the country’s investment drive as they prepare to join other government organisations for the event in Kumasi and Sefwi Wiawso.
Two Media General subsidiaries- Akoma FM in Kumasi and TV3, together with GIPC, will his month spotlight high- potential projects in Ashanti Region and Western North regions through regional Investment Roadshows aimed at unlocking new waves of growth, jobs and regime infrastructure.
The three institutions will host the Ashanti Regional Investment Roadshow on Wednesday, March 11,2026, at the Golden Bean Hotel in Kumasi, followed by the Western North Regional Investment forum on Friday, March 13,2026, at the Western North Regional Coordinating Council in Sefwi Wiawso.
Both events will bring together Municipal and District Assemblies, traditional authorities, private sector leaders, development partners and investors to engage on bankable projects spanning manufacturing, agribusiness, tourism, real estate, mining support services and logistics.
Speaking on Ghanakoma morning show on Akoma 87.9 FM in Kumasi with Sir John, on Monday, March 9,2026, the Head of Public Relations GIPC, Zainabu Issa, said in the Ashanti Region, the forum will highlight over three decades of recorded investment facilitated by GIPC, featuring more than 400 registered projects.
“These investments have helped position Kumasi as a strategic commercial and logistics hub serving both Ghana and the wider West African Market. While Western North Region is relatively young and has so far attracted a modest number of formally registered projects, detailed profiling has identified strong opportunities in large-scale cocoa and cashew cultivation, agroprocessing, timber and sustainable forestry, responsible mining, and cross-border trade and logistics.
She said the Western North forum will therefore provide a platform for local businesses, the Regional Coordinating Council and other partners to present the opportunities directly to investors and financial institutions.
Chief Executive Officer of Corporate Integrity Consult, Charles Kusi Appiah Kubi, lauded the initiative and said Kumasi will bounce back.
He urged multinational companies and organisations to invest in Kumasi.
He explained that “apart from its dense population, Kumasi is the strongest in terms of economic activities in the country and present numerous business opportunities.”
He asked companies to tap into opportunities in Ghana’s second largest city.
The Ashanti Regional Director of the GIPC, Michael Okyere, said the events form part of GIPC’s proactive engagement strategy to extend investment promotion beyond Accra by identifying and packaging district- level opportunities into investor ready projects.
He encouraged domestic and international investors, financial institutions, development partners and business associations to participate in the Investment Roadshow.
