The 2nd Ghana Investment and Opportunities Summit 2020 lived up to all it was billed to be: an oversubscribed gathering of prospective and current investors, keen on taping into the rising global interest in doing business in Africa and to be a part of Ghana’s success story and economic transformation.

As was a common theme throughout the two- day summit, participants were keen to be a part of the single trade market which will bring together some 55 African countries with a combined population of 1.3 billion - the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfcFTA), whose secretariat will be hosted in Accra.

The Summits’ theme of Accessing the African Common Market through Ghana: Technology, Digitalization and Industrialization, meant that the situating of the AfcFTA secretariat in Accra and the opportunities it offered for investors was stressed on at every turn by keynote speakers, moderators and panelists and by a majority of the searching questions and contributions that were made by delegates.
