The Ghana Investment Promotion Authority (GIPA) has embarked on a Regional Investment Roadshow across the Bono, Bono East, and Ahafo regions. The five-day exercise aims to identify and promote investment opportunities in these regions as part of GIPA's Investment Opportunity Mapping Project (IOMP). The roadshow will take place in Sunyani, Techiman, and Goaso, where GIPA and its partners will engage with local stakeholders to validate and package projects that reflect the economic strengths of the three regions. This initiative builds on successful Regional Investment Roadshows held in other regions, focusing on opportunities in agribusiness, agro processing, logistics, eco tourism, mining linked value addition, and rural industrialisation.

GIPA's IOMP has profiled 378 investment projects from 188 districts across 15 regions between July 2025 and June 2026. The Bono, Bono East, and Ahafo regions have collectively attracted 57 registered companies and approximately US$383.65 million in foreign direct investment between January 1994 and June 2026. This investment has been driven by various sectors, including agriculture, manufacturing, mining support services, building and construction, and agro processing. The regions have also seen investments from countries such as India, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, China, Lebanon, and Australia, reflecting growing international confidence in the regions' potential.

The Regional Investment Roadshow aims to support local businesses and stakeholders in refining project ideas into investment-ready proposals. GIPA expects to establish a verified pipeline of bankable projects by the end of the programme, strengthening the capacity of regional stakeholders to attract and engage investors. This initiative has significant implications for lawyers and compliance officers, as it may lead to new business ventures or partnerships in the regions. The potential for increased foreign direct investment also raises questions about its impact on local businesses and industries.

Lawyers and compliance officers should note that the roadshow aims to identify and promote investment opportunities, which may lead to new business ventures or partnerships in the regions. They should also be aware of the potential for increased foreign direct investment and its implications on local businesses and industries.
