The UK Investment Roadshow 2026 opens in London today, bringing together investors, businesses and strategic stakeholders to advance trade, investment and commercial partnerships under the UK-Ghana Growth Partnership.
Reflecting on the theme “From Confidence to Capital: Unlocking the Next Wave of Growth through Strategic Investment,” the Roadshow builds on momentum generated by the Ghana-UK Investment Summit held in London in June and forms part of ongoing efforts to translate the Growth Partnership’s commitments into tangible commercial outcomes.
Through a programme of investor meetings, business showcases and networking engagements, the Roadshow will connect UK and international investors with a pipeline of opportunities across sectors critical to economic growth, industrialisation and regional trade.
Participants will hear from Claire Innes, Deputy Director, Growth Directorate at the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO); Sabah Zita Benson, Ghana’s High Commissioner to the United Kingdom; and Augustus Goosie Tanoh, Presidential Adviser on the 24-Hour Economy and Accelerated Export Development Programme (24H+), alongside business leaders, project sponsors and investment partners.
The engagement also builds on progress made at the UK-Ghana Trade and Investment Summit organised by the UK-Ghana Chamber of Commerce in September, where the Deal Room and Investment Matchmaking Session generated investor interest in opportunities worth more than £250 million from a broader pipeline exceeding £1.4 billion across agribusiness, pharmaceuticals and health technology, financial services, infrastructure and the circular economy.
“The UK Investment Roadshow is the Growth Partnership in action, connecting UK investors with credible opportunities in Ghana and building on our strong momentum to unlock investment, create jobs and turn shared ambition into practical economic opportunities for both countries,” said Dr Christian Rogg, British High Commissioner to Ghana.
Taking place alongside AFSIC – Investing in Africa, the largest annual Africa-focused investment event held outside the continent, the Roadshow will provide further opportunities for Ghanaian businesses, project sponsors and government partners to engage a global investor audience and showcase investment-ready opportunities.
The programme includes an Investment Opportunities Roundtable hosted by British Expertise International, a dedicated Ghana Country Investment Session at the AFSIC Summit, and culminates in a Ghana Investor Deal Room Day, where investors will engage directly with businesses, project sponsors and government partners on investment-ready opportunities.
All activities will take place at multiple locations, including the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge. The programme is delivered by the UK Ghana Chamber of Commerce and the UK Government’s flagship Jobs and Economic Transformation (JET) programme in Ghana.
