Commenting on the endorsement, Jamie Pearson, Marketing Director of Afrocet Montgomery said "AGI has fully endorsed the event and will be present for the opening ceremony. The Ghana Export Promotion Authority (GEPA) has also endorsed the event and is supporting trade delegations from across the wider West African region that will see a comprehensive buyers-program for those in the F&B and FMCG industries who are in need of an upgrade or new technology in their supply chains and factories".

On top of these three industry partners, endorsement has been confirmed from the Ghana National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GNCCI), the Institute of Packaging Ghana (IOPG), and the Ghana Printers and Papers Converters Association (GPPCA), among many others.

Speaking on the upcoming exhibition, Jamie Pearson noted that running alongside the exhibition booths and product showcases will be an industry-leading conference program that will provide insights, explanations, and thoughts on the trends and pertinent topics faced by the industry today.

“Apart from the exhibition, we will have sessions on the circular economy, sustainability, and financing options for SME and multinational companies, among others. In total, more than 40 speakers are expected, and the full three-day program will be announced in the coming weeks”.
