The Ghana Free Zones Authority (GFZA) participated in the Ghana–Korea Business Forum, on Monday, 2nd February 2026. The Forum was organized by the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC).
The visit of the high-level Korean delegation was facilitated by the Member of Parliament for the Ekumfi Constituency, Hon. Dr. Othniel Ekow Kwainoe. The delegation was in Ghana to explore investment opportunities in manufacturing, agribusiness, renewable energy, healthcare, and industrial processing. The delegation was led by the Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency (KOTRA).
The Forum was attended by members of the Parliamentary Select Committee on Trade, Industry and Tourism, as well as Ghanaian companies with business interests in Korea.
Delivering remarks on behalf of the Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Free Zones Authority, Dr. Mary Awusi, the Deputy Chief Executive Officer for Finance and Administration, Mr. Musah Sibiri Hamidu, noted that over the years, the Authority has consistently welcomed initiatives that promote Korean business interests in Ghana, particularly within the Free Zones ecosystem.
He added that this commitment is reflected in the growing presence of East Asian enterprises operating under the Free Zones Scheme, whose activities continue to contribute significantly to Ghana’s export performance, job creation, and skills development.
In his submission, the Chief Executive Officer of the GIPC, Mr. Simon Madjie, reiterated that Ghana is open for business and that ongoing reforms are aimed at delivering private sector services more effectively and efficiently. He encouraged Korean businesspersons to seek credible partners through either the GFZA or GIPC.
Responding to questions from members of the Korean delegation, the Deputy Chief Executive Officer outlined some of the highly competitive and investor-friendly incentives designed to make investment under the Free Zones Scheme both attractive and rewarding.
At the close of the forum, all parties agreed that global partnerships such as the Ghana–Korea Business Forum are critical to advancing shared aspirations for industrial growth, technology transfer, and sustainable investment.
Also present at the meeting were other officials of the Authority.
