Ghana Investment & Trade Week (GITW) 2026, the premier international investment and business platform in West Africa, will take place from 7–9 July 2026 at The Palms Convention Center, Accra, Ghana.
Co-located with Africa Build Show and Megawatt Africa, the event creates a powerful multi-sector platform that connects investors, government stakeholders, developers, and solution providers across key industries.
Megawatt Africa is a leading energy and power exhibition focused on electricity generation, renewable energy, transmission, distribution, and energy technologies. The show plays a critical role in advancing power infrastructure and sustainable energy solutions across the continent a vital pillar for industrial growth and investment readiness.
Africa Build Show is a dynamic construction and infrastructure exhibition spotlighting building materials, construction technologies, architecture, urban development, and large-scale infrastructure projects. It serves as a strategic meeting point for contractors, developers, architects, and suppliers driving Africa’s rapid urbanization and industrial expansion.
The co-location of these two high-impact exhibitions strengthens GITW by connecting investment opportunities directly with key sectors such as energy, construction, and infrastructure all essential to Ghana’s and West Africa’s economic growth.
Building on the strong momentum of GITW 2025, the 2026 edition will further position Ghana as a gateway for strategic investment, cross-border trade, and industrial collaboration across the region.

The event delivered compelling business insights and project partnerships, spotlighting investment opportunities across infrastructure, manufacturing, digital transformation, energy, construction and supply chain integration. The structured roundtables, industry sessions and MoU signings resulted in measurable outcomes that are already shaping regional investment dialogue and strategic cooperation.
