A high-level Ghanaian delegation has concluded a strategic mission to Hyderabad, India, as part of the Government’s 24-Hour Economy and Accelerated Export Development Programme, aimed at deepening industrial cooperation, attracting investment and accelerating export-led growth.
The delegation was led by Mr Goosie Tanoh, Head of the 24-Hour Economy Secretariat, and comprised representatives from the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC), industry leaders, academic institutions, and regulatory agencies.
The visit focused on examining India’s successful pharmaceutical and manufacturing ecosystems to support Ghana’s efforts to expand industrial production, develop industrial parks and strengthen its export capacity.
The mission also sought to identify opportunities for collaboration in renewable energy, bio-energy, technology transfer and skills development.
During a series of engagements with Indian companies and industry stakeholders, Ghana highlighted its investment potential and strategic position as a gateway to the West African and broader African markets.
Speaking during discussions with partners including ATRI Group and SAI Bioenergy, the Deputy Chief Executive Officer of GIPC, Mr Razak Baba, underscored Ghana’s favourable investment climate, stable business environment, and growing opportunities for industrial expansion.
The mission forms part of broader efforts under the 24-Hour Economy initiative to promote industrialisation, increase local production, create sustainable employment opportunities and boost value-added exports.
Officials noted that insights gained from India’s industrial development model would help inform Ghana’s plans to enhance manufacturing competitiveness and strengthen local value chains.
The visit is expected to further solidify bilateral cooperation between Ghana and India, paving the way for new partnerships, investment opportunities, and knowledge exchange programmes that support Ghana’s long-term economic transformation agenda.
As Ghana pursues its industrialisation and export development objectives, the strengthened collaboration with India is anticipated to play a key role in advancing innovation, productivity and sustainable economic growth.
