The World Trade Centre (WTC) Accra recently led a Ghanaian delegation to the Africa Collective Geneva 2026, with the Head of Trade and Investment Services at WTC Accra, Jeffrey Odame Yeboah, representing the organisation at the programme.

Yeboah facilitated engagements between Ghanaian participants and international investors, policymakers, development finance institutions and business leaders to promote trade, investment and business partnerships.

The platform highlighted Ghana’s strategic position as the gateway to West Africa and the host country of the Secretariat of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).

It also provided opportunities for delegates to engage with investors, financiers, multinational companies and policymakers from Africa, Europe and other parts of the world.

Executive Chairman of WTC Accra, Togbe Afede XIV, said Ghana needed to continue participating actively in international trade and investment platforms.

“As global economic relationships continue to evolve, Ghana must remain actively engaged in international platforms that facilitate trade, investment and strategic partnerships. We are proud that World Trade Centre Accra continues to play a role in creating these opportunities for Ghanaian businesses and institutions,” he said.

Meanwhile, Managing Director of WTC Accra, Yvonne Y. Botchey, said the event demonstrated the growing international interest in African businesses and investment opportunities.
