The Chief Executive Officer of B5 Plus Limited, Mukesh V. Thakwani, has stated that the industrial sector is ready to drive the country’s transformation into the continent’s leading manufacturing and investment hub.
He made this known at a dinner held in Accra on Sunday, June 29, to close the five-day Ghana-China Business Summit, which focused on strengthening economic collaboration.
It was held under the theme, “Synergising opportunities: Strengthening the Ghana-China Relationship and Fostering a 24-Hour Economy.”
Delivering an address at the dinner, Mr. Thakwani noted that the summit had rekindled confidence in the country’s economic potential and sent a message to the global business community that Ghana is open for serious investment.
He stressed the need for strategic partnerships to turn Ghana into Africa’s industrial capital.
“We are ready to invest. We are ready to partner. And we are ready to work hand in hand to make Ghana the industrial heartbeat of Africa,” he stated.
“As a company deeply committed to Ghana’s growth, I humbly use this platform to appeal to His Excellency the President and the Chief of Staff to consider organizing a Ghana–India Investment Forum in September 2025,” he proposed.
The B5 Plus CEO stated that the Ghana–India forum will focus on converting India’s growing interest in Ghana into actionable partnerships aligned with President Mahama’s industrialisation agenda.
The Ghana-China Business Summit brought together business leaders, entrepreneurs, and policymakers from both countries to deepen trade ties, promote investment, and explore new areas of cooperation.
