Businesses and investors are expected to converge in Accra for discussions on trade, investment and business expansion at the second edition of the Loveworld Trade & Investment Forum (LTIF).

The two-day forum, scheduled for October 6 to 7, 2026, will bring together entrepreneurs, investors, policymakers and business leaders to examine opportunities and challenges associated with expanding businesses across African markets.

It will be held at the Ohene Konadu Auditorium of the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA), under the theme “Production, Trade, Trust and Innovation” (PTTI).

Key discussions will focus on access to finance, production capacity, market access, standards, supply chains and cross-border trade, issues that affect businesses seeking to expand beyond their domestic markets.

The forum will also provide opportunities for businesses to engage potential investors through investment sessions, business-to-business engagements and pitch sessions.

An exhibition and trade fair will form part of the programme, allowing participating businesses to showcase their products, services and innovations.

A key component of the forum will be the Business Expansion Growth Initiative (BEGIN), which is expected to facilitate connections between businesses, investors and potential commercial partners.

The Accra edition follows the maiden LTIF held in Lagos, Nigeria, in November 2025, which attracted more than 1,500 participants and over 20 speakers.
