Ghana–India B2B Meet Spurs New Trade Opportunities
The Ghana-India Chamber of Commerce (GICC) has urged Ghanaian entrepreneurs, particularly importers and exporters, to leverage its growing collaboration with Indian business organisations to expand their ventures and explore new markets.
GICC President, Dr. Kwabena Ekremet, emphasized that the Chamber is committed to creating practical opportunities for Ghanaian businesses to connect with Indian companies and access new commercial prospects.
He made the call during a two-day Ghana–India Business-to-Business (B2B) Meet in Accra, organised by the GICC in collaboration with the Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO), with support from the High Commission of India in Ghana.
The event drew over 200 Ghanaian business leaders to engage with Indian delegates showcasing opportunities across healthcare, pharmaceuticals, agribusiness, textiles, engineering, hardware, paper, and packaging.
Dr. Ekremet encouraged businesses to join the Chamber and actively use its network to unlock opportunities, describing the B2B meet as a vital step in strengthening Ghana–India business ties.
FIEO Joint Director, Mr. Manish Sharma, assured Ghanaian businesses of India’s readiness to deepen cooperation, while GICC Board Chairman, Mr. David Brian Obro, pledged that future engagements would be larger and more impactful.
The Indian High Commissioner to Ghana, Mr. Surinder Bhagat, highlighted Ghana’s strategic location and the presence of the AfCFTA headquarters as key advantages, urging both sides to seize opportunities for partnership.
Participants, including Mr. Emmanuel Ledi (importer of building materials) and Ms. Agnes Aacht Hayfron-Benjamin (CEO of Kaliber Partners), welcomed the initiative, stressing the need for stronger and more inclusive collaboration.
Founded in 2013, the GICC has faced challenges in fulfilling its objectives. Organisers expressed hope that this maiden B2B engagement in recent years would mark the revival of the Chamber’s activities and strengthen trade links between Ghana and India.
