The Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC), Simon Madjie, has described the inauguration of the Ghana Trade House in Philadelphia as a major step towards expanding Ghana’s commercial presence in the United States and strengthening trade and investment ties between the two countries.
The facility, established by the Ghana Export Promotion Authority, was officially inaugurated on the sidelines of the Invest Ghana USA Business Forum and Exhibition.
Speaking at the event, Mr. Madjie described the Ghana Trade House as a strategic national asset that will enhance Ghana’s global economic footprint, unlock new business opportunities, and reinforce the country’s position as a competitive destination for trade and investment in Africa.
He reaffirmed GIPC’s commitment to working closely with GEPA, partner institutions, Ghana’s diplomatic missions, the private sector, and diaspora business networks to convert growing international interest into concrete trade and investment opportunities for the country.
The Ghana Trade House is expected to provide a range of services to support Ghanaian businesses seeking to enter and expand in the U.S. market.
These include market intelligence, trade advisory services, export matchmaking, investment promotion, and guidance on opportunities under the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA).
