The Ghana–Korea Business Forum, convened by Digital Eye on behalf of A-Tech Group Korea, was held on Thursday, November 5, 2026, at the La Palm Royal Beach Hotel in Accra. The forum brought together government officials, business leaders, private sector representatives and other stakeholders from both countries to explore opportunities for investment, technology transfer and industrial collaboration.
Discussions focused on emerging business opportunities, knowledge exchange and strategic partnerships to accelerate industrial growth and economic development, with particular attention to the role of technology and innovation in industrial transformation.
Representing the Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Free Zones Authority (GFZA), Dr. Mary Awusi, the Deputy Chief Executive Officer (Finance and Administration), Mr. Hamidu Sibiri Musah, highlighted the Authority’s mandate and its role in promoting export-oriented investment, industrial development and job creation. He outlined the incentives and opportunities available under the Free Zones Scheme, encouraging both local and international investors to establish or expand their operations in Ghana.
He noted that two companies with Korean shareholding currently operate under the Scheme and encouraged more Korean investors to leverage the incentives to establish businesses in Ghana and access the African market. Additionally, he highlighted the Afienya Industrial Park as an emerging investment destination with significant potential for manufacturing, industrial expansion and export-oriented operations.
The forum further explored opportunities for Ghana–Korea cooperation in technology and innovation, particularly drone technology and its applications in agriculture, logistics, transportation, infrastructure monitoring and security. These emerging technologies offer prospects for improving industrial efficiency, enhancing productivity and creating new avenues for economic collaboration.
GFZA’s participation reaffirmed the Authority’s commitment to strengthening international business relations, attracting strategic investments and facilitating partnerships that promote industrialization and technology-driven growth.
