The Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC) is collaborating with the GIZ PharmaVax team to attract investments and expand Ghana’s pharmaceutical industry. The GIZ PharmaVax project, co-financed by the European Union, aims to develop and regulate Ghana’s domestic pharmaceutical sector, including vaccine production.
During a recent meeting at the GIPC office, the GIZ PharmaVax team, led by Project Manager Connor Baker, discussed investment promotion activities and proposed creating a virtual deal room to facilitate partnerships between international and local pharmaceutical companies.
GIPC CEO Simon Madjie, a seasoned investment promotion professional and lawyer with over a decade of experience, praised the initiative for enhancing local manufacturing capabilities, particularly for essential medications vital to Ghana’s healthcare system. Madjie affirmed the Centre’s commitment to preparing local pharmaceutical companies for potential foreign investment and collaborations.
This partnership seeks to strengthen Ghana’s pharmaceutical industry, improving access to essential medications and vaccines while promoting economic growth and development.
