The 7th edition of the Volta<\/a> Trade and Investment Fair is scheduled to take place from 26th November to 8th December 2025 in the Volta Regional Capital, Ho.<\/p>\n

It would be under the theme: \u201cVolta Rising: Building Global Partnerships for a Thriving 24-Hour Economy\u201d.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s fair is being organised by the Association of Ghana Industries (AGI) \u2013 Eastern, Volta & Oti Regions \u2013 in collaboration with the Volta Regional Coordinating Council (VRCC).<\/p>\n

The 2025 edition of the Volta Trade and Investment Fair is a novelty, as it features a 24-hour format, expected to give exhibitors and patrons the experience of trading around the clock at the fairgrounds.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year\u2019s edition introduces a groundbreaking innovation: designated 24-hour fair days, making it Ghana\u2019s first-ever continuous trade exhibition experience,\u201d stated a communique jointly issued by the Volta Trade & Investment Fair Planning Committee and the Association of Ghana Industries (Eastern, Volta & Oti).<\/p>\n

The 24-hour fair days will have extended hours of trading aimed at \u201cincreasing engagement, encouraging night-time economic activity, and aligning directly with the Government of Ghana\u2019s 24-hour economy agenda\u201d.<\/p>\n

It was strategically designed to extend beyond just an exhibition and serve as a catalyst for \u201ceconomic development, local empowerment, and international partnerships, seeking to attract meaningful investment into the host region, drive export growth, and build strategic trade relationships within Africa and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n

Organisers of this year\u2019s event took cognisance of the Volta Region\u2019s strategic geographical location and hence schemed to use the Fair to transform the Volta Region into \u201cGhana\u2019s Eastern Gateway\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fair is designed to position the Volta Region not only as a vibrant hub for investment and innovation but, more strategically, as Ghana\u2019s Eastern Gateway to regional markets such as Togo, Benin, Nigeria, and Cameroon,\u201d stated the communique.<\/p>\n

There would be a global representation, as exhibitors are expected to display various products and businesses from across the globe, aiming to promote their products and establish business networks.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Fair will feature companies and stakeholders in agribusiness, tourism, ICT, manufacturing, creative arts, and sustainability,\u201d added the communique.<\/p>\n

Flagship events and seminars scheduled to provide an experience beyond trading include the Volta Investment Summit, the Women in Entrepreneurship Forum, the Youth in Entrepreneurship Summit, the AI & Innovation Forum, and Creative Arts and Sports Development Forums.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese knowledge-sharing platforms will complement the exhibitions by providing capacity building, policy discussions, and actionable insight to empower businesses and individuals. They will also promote financial inclusion and job creation across the region.\u201d<\/p>\n

Several \u201ccommunity-centred activities\u201d have been lined up to build momentum and anticipation towards the main fair event to increase community participation.<\/p>\n

The month of August will host Corporate Fun Games and the official unveiling of the fair\u2019s programme and sponsors.<\/p>\n

The Visit Volta, Experience Ghana; a curated 4-day tourism tour of the Volta Region to promote local destinations and cultural heritage, is scheduled for September.<\/p>\n

\u201cOrganisers are calling on the private sector, development agencies, government institutions, and foreign missions to participate in what promises to be the most ambitious and impactful edition of the Fair yet.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFor sponsorship, exhibition opportunities, or further information, please contact the Volta Fair Secretariat at 024 463 6097 or info@voltafair.org,\u201d the communique concluded.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
