The Ghana-India Trade Advisory Chamber (GITAC) has outlined programmes and activities to mark its 5th anniversary celebrations this year.
The Chamber’s President, Dominic Oduro-Antwi, who was speaking to the B&FT at the 5th anniversary media launch of GITAC in Accra, disclosed that the celebration would constitute both local and international events. GITAC has been at the forefront of trade promotion between Ghana and India, and ensuring that both countries deepen bilateral activities between them.
Mr. Oduro-Antwi noted that the chamber, has in the last five years, introduced many Indians to opportunities in Ghana and Ghanaians to trade prospects in India. Also, India’s medical facilities have benefitted many Ghanaians as that country has become a medical tourism hub for many.
Activities to mark GITAC’s 5th anniversary
Mr. Antwi said activities earmarked for the anniversary include a media engagement on Ghana-India bilateral relations and an educational fair comprising over 15 universities from India from February 22-24, 2023.
In the month of March, GITAC will launch the Global Africa Trade Advisory Chamber for the Asian Region in Dubai. In April, the chamber will embark on a trip to India for selected sectors of the economy. There will be a global Africa networking event in May as well as a health fair in June.
The organisation will host a technology fair in July, and a maternal healthcare music festival in August. The climax of the anniversary comes with an agribusiness fair in September, and a grand dinner for all stakeholders of the chamber.
Established in 2018, GITAC is the first business chamber to extend its branches to different countries worldwide. The chamber has offices in 18 countries, enabling Ghanaians and Indians living in those countries to still do business. The chamber also empowers young people in ICT, education, agribusiness, among others.
