MOI And GIPC Outdoor Spark Up To Boost Ghana’s Investment Drive

The Ministry of Information (MOI) and the Ghana Investment Promotion Center (GIPC) have launched 'Spark Up'-  an investment initiative to promote investments in Ghana’s economy, stimulate growth and move the country forward from the COVID-19 induced setback.
 
The initiative which is an annual investment summit is aimed at reigniting the passion for investment in Ghana and create a platform for investors and investment facilitators to discuss investment challenges and find solutions to them.
 
Unveiling the initiative in Accra on Tuesday, August 3, 2021, Minister for Information, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah said it is about time the country put in measures to take advantage of the numerous investment opportunities.
 
He said: “it is with excitement that the GIPC, the Ministry of Finance supported by the Ministry of Information come together to introduce an annual investment summit of the GIPC which brings together the various stakeholders in the value chain.
 
“Heads of State may have done their part by traveling the world to sell Ghana’s investment potential, GIPC may have followed up telling everybody about the various investment opportunities and have attracted them to register $2.7 billion worth of investment with 27,000 direct jobs. Our role now is helping to ensure that these investments are onboarded and that is why Spark-up has been created.”
