The Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC) plans to raise valuable Foreign Direct Investment for the industry through its upcoming Garments and Textiles Investment Meeting on the theme: “The future of garments and textiles in Ghana’s industrialisation drive”.

The two-day virtual meeting, set for the November 04-05, will create a platform for the GIPC and key stakeholders in the garments and textiles industry, namely; the Association of Ghana Apparel Manufacturers (AGAM) and the Cotton Development Authority to discuss a plethora of issues akin to the industry.

Key issues to be discussed are industry insights and policies, finding practical solutions to challenges peculiar to the Ghanaian textile and garment industry as well as exploring the essence of the African Continental Free Trade Area agreement to the industry.

From an investment perspective, the Center will lead discussions on how to leverage the enormous potential of the local garments and textiles industry to lure in needed investment and financial support.
