Discover Ghana: Business Mission to West Africa | January 2026
AME261423
Overview
Ghana is one of West Africa's more established business and investment hubs and hosts the Secretariat of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). With a population of around 34 million and a growing private sector, the market offers opportunities across manufacturing, agribusiness, energy and infrastructure, healthcare, logistics, digital solutions and consumer distribution. Ghana's position in West Africa also provides Singapore companies with a platform to explore opportunities beyond the domestic market and into the wider region. Ghana's official statistics put its 2025 population at 33.7 million.
The mission will explore opportunities across broad areas including advanced manufacturing and industrial solutions; consumer, agrifood and distribution; energy, infrastructure and logistics; digital economy and trusted technology; and healthcare and life sciences. The final programme will be shaped around commercially relevant opportunities identified through SBF's market development work and the interests of participating Singapore companies.
Participants will gain first-hand exposure to the market through curated company meetings, site visits and engagements with leading Ghanaian businesses and relevant public-sector stakeholders. The programme will focus on practical considerations such as identifying buyers and local partners, understanding procurement and distribution requirements, navigating payments and regulation, and assessing opportunities for technology, investment and business partnerships.
Through this mission, participants will gain a clearer understanding of where Singapore capabilities can complement Ghana's growth priorities, develop relationships with potential partners and buyers, and identify practical pathways for market entry and expansion in Ghana and West Africa.
