This event, being organised by MIE GROUP and the Ghana Chamber of Construction Industry, will bring together businesses from key markets from Asia, the Middle East and Europe to explore Foreign Direct Investment opportunities in Ghana.

It is being held on the theme: "Fostering Partnerships for Sustainable Growth: Bridging Trade and Real Estate Investments Across Continents."

Speaking at the launch Ghana Investment Trade Week and America Property Exhibition 2025, Mr Emmanuel Tetteh Martey, Chairman Ghana Chamber of Construction Industry, said trade and real estate investments were vital ingredients for economic growth and by bridging opportunities within Ghana, Africa, and the Americas, would create a dynamic platform for mutual prosperity.

"Today marks the beginning of an ambitious journey to drive innovation, collaboration and boundless opportunities united by a shared vision to advance sustainable infrastructure development across Ghana and the broader African continent," he said.

Mr Martey said Ghana with its stable economic climate, fledgling democracy, anchored on rule of law, strategic location and its commitment to business friendly policies continued to be the gateway as well as the preferred destination for investments in Africa.

He said the real estate and infrastructure sectors of the economy in particular presented immense opportunities for real growth, innovation and sustainable development.

"To this end, by forging strategic partnerships between local and international investors, developers and policy makers, we can unlock and unleash new avenues for wealth creation, job opportunities, urban transformation aligned with Ghana's national development agenda and a global push for climate resilient and technological infrastructure," Mr Martey said.

He said the Ghana Trade Week initiative was not just an exhibition but a movement towards deepening relations, trade relations, facilitating knowledge exchange and strengthening the investment ecosystem.

"It is a call to action for governments, businesses and stakeholders to work together in creating resilient forward thinking solutions that will define the future of our economies," he said.

"As we embark on this exciting journey, let us seize the opportunity before us and open our minds and unwavering commitment. Let us build bridges, cultivate lasting relationships and pave the way for a future of sustainable growth and shared success," he added.

Mr Frank Lartey, Group Chairman Core Construction Group of Companies, who officially launched the week, said investment was critical for the growth of the real estate sector.

He said the real estate sector needed a lot of investments to meet the demands of the different segments of society, adding that the payback for such investments are good.

Mr Emmanuel Cherry, Chief Executive Officer of Ghana Chamber of Construction Industry, said the Trade Week would provide an interface for industry players to market their activities under a common platform.

"We need to interface to make sure that what we do here is being done elsewhere or what we can also take outside. We always depend on imports but we also need to export," he added.

Meanwhile, America Property Exhibition, which will take place in Miami, has been launched. It will bring together real estate professionals, investors and developers from around the world.
