GIPC’s GHANA CLUB 100 AWARDS RETURNS

After a two-year break owing to the Covid 19 Pandemic, the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC) is gearing up to host the 19th edition of its esteemed Ghana Club 100 awards in October at the Kempinski Gold Coast Hotel in Accra.

The Ghana Club 100 is an annual compilation of 100 outstanding companies in Ghana’s business landscape, with the goal of honoring and rewarding businesses that are making remarkable accomplishments in their respective business fields.

Launching the event at the GIPC office in Accra, the theme for this year’s event was unveiled as “Ghana’s Private Sector, a Catalyst for Post-Pandemic Economic Transformation”.Speaking at the launch, the Chief Executive Officer of the GIPC Yofi Grant pointed that the theme was relevant in more ways than one, as most firms utilized the crisis as a stimulus to accelerate change in almost every element of their work.“As such, these businesses sought out new partnerships and alliances to boost their technology investment and implementation.

Others also pursued new opportunities to strengthen their supply networks and grow markets and it’s only fair that we acknowledge their perseverance.”
