The event, being organised under the auspices of the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MOTI), is on the theme: ‘Sparing Growth in the Ghanaian and African Business Environment’ and will take place during the celebration of this year’s Africa Industrialisation Day, a day whose celebration is spearheaded by the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO) worldwide and has been celebrated in Ghana by UNIDO and Ghanaian Industries since its inception.
So much is happening in the Ghanaian financial sector which is a bridge to support Industry, create wealth and enhance productivity.
The Ghana Cedi Expo will, therefore, unearth synergies in the Financial Sector and Industry to enhance productivity and create wealth.
Various institutions are expected to roll out and market their attractive financial products to the business community, investors and workers who will have a plethora of products to buy into to satisfy their investment needs.
The fair will offer the public the opportunity to sample various financial products on the market under one roof and decide where to put their money or investment.
‘This fair, therefore, offers a unique opportunity to businesses, investors and visitors the opportunity to surf through the various products being offered by the financial institutions and to make an informed choice as to where to invest or buy into a particular financial product,’ Winifred Afua Danqwa Nyam, Exhibitor Relations Manager of the Big 5 exhibition stated.
‘We are creating the platform for industry, the investing public, businesses that require investments to expand their businesses and the financial institutions to take their corporate offering to a higher pedestal.
The Cedi Expo seeks to attract exhibitors from financial institutions, Industry, business persons, the bank and non-bank, investors, the insurance companies, mutual fund managers and potential investors. Others are money lending agencies, mobile money platforms operators and various products and services that are offered in the financial sector and create a platform to enhance the financial inclusion.
A smock day will also be observed and a special gallery will be created to promote the Ghanaian smock as the official dress code for the event. During the exhibition period exhibitors and visitors will be encouraged to put on smocks for both casual and official assignments associated with the event and a fashion show on smock will be organised to showcase the various uses of the smock.
Most media houses are extending media mileage towards the success of the event which is scheduled to bring sponsors, exhibitors, collaborators and the business community calling on other companies and sponsors to take part in the exhibition to brand and showcase their products during the fair.
