The summit is also part of planned activities for the upcoming UK-Ghana Chamber of Commerce (UKGCC) London week celebrations

The speech is also expected to brush through areas of infrastructure for development of railways and precious minerals and the impact they have on the private sector business partnerships.

The seminar which is also aimed at promoting Ghana as a business destination has been designed to create networking and partnership opportunities Ghanaian and British business leaders.

The CEO of UKGCC, Mr. Tony Burkson said “the President’s vision for ‘A Ghana Beyond Aid’ is one that has captured the minds of many companies and investors in the UK. The expectation is that the President will use his keynote to elaborate on what role he expects the private sector and the investor community to play in this vision”.

He added that the President  will also meet with senior business executives in the UK who have expressed interest in investing in Ghana.

He indicated that “the stellar performance of the Ghanaian economy in the last year, particularly the stabilization of the macro-environment makes Ghana a top destination for investors looking for yield. It is my hope that Ghana will use the UK-Ghana Investment Summit and other events happening during the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting to show why it is the best place for any investor looking to deploy capital in Africa”.
