In the spirit of the December festivities in Ghana, the Ghana Investment Promotion Center (GIPC) collaborated with the Ghana Tourism Authority and Ghana Export Promotion Authority to present the 4th edition of Taste of Ghana Fest.

Themed "GH: The Africa Dream," the event held on December 27 at the State House forecourt aimed to unite Ghanaians, the diaspora, and international visitors through a showcase of the country's unique cultural elements.

From food, art, and made-in-Ghana products to cinematography and fashion, the festival created an inclusive environment for the exploration of commercial and investment opportunities.
