Kumasi is set to host the first ever single biggest investment meeting this weekend when about 40 investors and business executives from Turkey and other parts of the world converge in the historic city for the first Ghana-Turkey Investors Dinner ball.
The one-day event to be held at the Golden Tulip Kumasi City Hotel is aimed at exploring investment opportunities in Ghana as the nation makes strides in economic development.
It would also offer participants from Ghana the golden opportunity to network to help improve their businesses.
The event being held under the auspices of the Turkish Embassy in Ghana, is under the organisation of E-On 3 Company Limited, a business solutions provisions company in Ghana in collaboration with the Turkish Exim bank and Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC).
Foreign investors and business executives, and their Ghanaian counterparts who are expected to attend the dinner ball are actors in areas like gold mining, building and road construction, trucks and heavy-duty equipment, oil and gas industry, automobile and waste management, timber industry, clothing and jewellery.
Mr Richard Adjei Mensa Ofori-Atta, the Executive Director of E-On 3 Company, told graphic.com.gh that Kumasi was selected to host the big event because of its strategic central location.
He also pointed out that the northern section of the country also needed some measure of investment and expressed the hope that Ghanaian business entities, especially those in the northern sector, would take advantage of the opportunity to strike foreign partnerships to boost their businesses.
Mr Ofori-Atta said the Turkish Exim bank also had credit facilities available for credible Ghanaians, which would be explained at the ceremony.
The function would be chaired by the Turkish Ambassador to Ghana, Mr Aydin Nurhan with former President John Agyekum Kufour as the guest speaker and the Minister of Trade and Industry, Ms Hannah Tetteh as one of the major speakers.
