The GIPC is a government agency mandated under the GIPC Act, 2013 (Act 865) to encourage and promote investments in Ghana, to provide for the creation of an attractive incentive framework and a transparent, predictable, and facilitating environment for foreign companies establishing themselves in Ghana, as well as local businesses exploring new opportunities in the country.
The Centre actively encourages, promotes, and facilitates investments into and within Ghana to attain its objectives. Furthermore, it formulates investment promotion policies and plans, promotional incentives, and marketing strategies to attract foreign and local investments in advanced technology industries and skill-intensive services, which enjoy good export market prospects.
The Centre also initiates and supports measures that will enhance the investment climate in Ghana for both Ghanaian and non-Ghanaian enterprises. Additionally, it initiates, organizes, and participates in promotional activities such as exhibitions, conferences, and seminars to stimulate investments to present Ghana as an ideal investment destination.
To deliver on its mandate and support the achievement its FDI target, the GIPC is prioritizing the development of new partnerships through joint ventures with Ghanaian partners. The Centre has been intentional about its business development activities as part of recent operational realignment efforts. This has improved GIPC’s capacity to generate a pipeline of bankable investment projects for promotion and to aid in the development and positioning of local firms for collaborations. That notwithstanding, there is need for the Business Development team to develop capacity in managing leads generated, chaperoning the negotiations and deal-making process between project sponsors and prospective investors to the successful realization of investments in the projects.
