President John Dramani Mahama is set to host leading Ghanaian business figures at an exclusive dinner as part of activities marking the 2026 Kwahu Business Forum, in what organisers describe as a key platform for direct engagement between government and the private sector.
The high-level dinner, scheduled to take place at the newly constructed Kwahu Convention Centre on the Mpraeso Hills in the Eastern Region, will serve as the highlight of the forum’s opening day, bringing together captains of industry for strategic discussions with the President.
The engagement is expected to provide an opportunity for President Mahama to outline his administration’s economic direction and policy priorities, while also receiving direct feedback from business leaders on investment conditions and private sector growth.
The President is anticipated to use the platform to elaborate on initiatives aimed at boosting entrepreneurship and expanding business opportunities, including the role of the Kwahu Business Forum in driving innovation and enterprise development.
The three-day forum, which begins on April 3, is expected to attract more than 1,000 participants, including entrepreneurs, investors and policymakers. It is designed to facilitate networking, promote investment partnerships and create avenues for businesses of all sizes to showcase their products and services.
Activities on the opening day will include an official ceremony attended by senior government officials, tours of exhibition spaces and a series of panel discussions focused on key economic sectors.
Participants will also benefit from masterclasses and insights from successful business leaders, particularly from the Kwahu enclave, who are expected to share experiences and lessons on building resilient enterprises.
The presidential dinner will conclude the first day’s programme, blending policy dialogue with a social setting intended to deepen engagement between government and industry leaders. The evening will also feature musical performances by Ghanaian artistes Stonebwoy and Kwabena Kwabena.
On the second day, the forum will continue with keynote addresses from industry leaders, with the Governor of the Bank of Ghana expected to deliver a special presentation on the economy and engage participants on monetary policy issues.
The event will conclude with a health walk at the Kwahu Business Village, alongside closed-door meetings between banking executives and the central bank to discuss broader economic developments.
Organisers say the forum is intended to strengthen collaboration between the public and private sectors, positioning business as a central driver of Ghana’s economic transformation.
