Ghana is open for business like never before - 24-Hour Economy takes centre stage in Canada
Ghana's 24-Hour Economy agenda took centre stage in Toronto, Canada, on June 15, 2026, at the Westin Harbour Castle Hotel, where government officials, diplomats, and business executives explored new opportunities for investment and economic partnership. The Ghana-Canada Investment Forum brought together about 135 participants to discuss trade, investment, and collaboration. The forum was organized by the GHFA Global Investment Forum Initiative in partnership with Strategic Communications Africa Limited (Stratcomm Africa) and Kwakaf International.
Esther A. N. Cobbah, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Stratcomm Africa, stated that Ghana's position provides investors with an opportunity to access the wider African market. She highlighted the long-standing relationship between Ghana and Canada, including historic technical support from Petro-Canada International Assistance Corporation to the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC). Cobbah said, "Ghana is a stepping stone towards a wider engagement with the African continent," and added that Canada has a unique opportunity to build lasting partnerships across Africa. The keynote address was delivered by Ras Mubarak, Founder and Leader of the Pan African Initiative Promoting a Visa-Free Africa by 2030, on behalf of the Chief of Staff to President John Dramani Mahama, Dr Julius Debrah. The address focused on the government's flagship 24-Hour Economy and Accelerated Export Development Programme.
