African billionaire businessman and industrialist Aliko Dangote is expected to join President John Dramani Mahama to officially open the Invest Ghana Summit in Accra on November 16, 2026.
The two-day investment summit, scheduled to take place at the Kempinski Hotel in Accra, is aimed at attracting local and international investors to finance major projects across Ghana’s productive sectors.
The event is expected to bring together leading investors, multinational corporations, policymakers, business executives and other key stakeholders to explore investment opportunities and strengthen Ghana’s position as an attractive business destination.
The summit forms part of Ghana’s broader efforts to translate its investment promotion initiatives into actual financing for projects in critical sectors, including manufacturing, agriculture, energy, transportation and other areas of the economy.
One of the major highlights will be a fireside conversation with Aliko Dangote, founder of the Dangote Group, one of Africa’s largest industrial conglomerates.
The discussion will focus on Dangote’s experience in building successful businesses across Africa, industrial development, private sector investment and opportunities for expanding regional value chains.
His participation is expected to provide insights into the challenges and opportunities associated with investing in Africa, particularly in manufacturing, industrialisation and cross-border trade.
The Invest Ghana Summit is also expected to create opportunities for business partnerships, investment agreements and collaboration between Ghanaian enterprises and international investors.
Through the gathering, Ghana aims to attract foreign direct investment (FDI), mobilise private capital and accelerate economic growth by supporting projects capable of creating jobs, expanding industrial capacity and strengthening local businesses.
The participation of President Mahama and Aliko Dangote places the summit among the major investment-focused business gatherings scheduled to take place in Ghana in November 2026.
