LoveWorld Trade and Investment Forum to Convene Business Leaders in Accra

Entrepreneurs, investors, policymakers, innovators and business leaders from across Africa are expected to converge in Accra for the LoveWorld Trade and Investment Forum (LTIF), the flagship economic forum of the Ministry of Commerce, LoveWorld Kingdom.

The two-day forum is scheduled for Tuesday, October 6, to Wednesday, October 7, 2026, at the Kofi Ohene-Konadu Auditorium, UPSA, Accra.

LTIF is designed as a platform for advancing enterprise, trade, investment and economic growth, while connecting businesses with investors, strategic partners and broader markets.

Why Ghana?

The organisers say Ghana’s position in Africa’s trade and investment landscape makes Accra an appropriate venue for the forum.

“Ghana is at the centre of Africa’s trade and investment future.”

They said Accra provides a platform to bring together leaders from across the continent to advance enterprise, strengthen regional collaboration and shape Africa’s next chapter of economic transformation.

The forum is also expected to address the challenges businesses face in accessing capital, markets, partnerships and the networks required to scale.

Focus on Enterprise, Investment and Trade

LTIF will feature discussions and engagements covering entrepreneurship, enterprise development, investment, trade and innovation.

Participants will explore opportunities in:

– Business expansion and enterprise development;
– Local and international trade;
– Investment and business financing;
– Strategic partnerships;
– Cross-border market access;
– Innovation and emerging technologies; and
– Leadership and capacity development.

The forum will also create networking opportunities involving business leaders, entrepreneurs, investors, industry experts, policymakers and other commerce stakeholders.

Organisers say these connections are intended to translate into partnerships, mentorship, investment opportunities and long-term commercial relationships.

Entrepreneurship is a major component of LTIF, with sessions expected to focus on building sustainable businesses, improving operations, understanding market opportunities, developing growth strategies and strengthening leadership capacity.

The forum will also provide opportunities for investor engagement, mentorship and capacity building, giving entrepreneurs practical insights into scaling businesses, managing growth and responding to changing market conditions.

Values-Driven Commerce

LTIF also promotes what its organisers describe as “Kingdom-Driven Commerce”, encouraging businesses to combine profitability with positive social and economic impact.

Entrepreneurs and business leaders are encouraged to operate with:

– Integrity;
– Excellence;
– Accountability;
– Responsibility; and
– Long-term vision.

The organisers say this approach seeks to position commerce as a platform for influence, stewardship and sustainable impact.

From Dialogue to Initiatives

Beyond discussions and networking, LTIF has also served as a platform for launching enterprise-focused initiatives.

At LTIF 2025, the Business Expansion and Growth Initiative (BEGIN) was launched to provide structured support for small and growing businesses through funding, mentorship, partnerships and market access.

The initiative is cited by the organisers as an example of the forum’s focus on converting business discussions into practical support for entrepreneurs and enterprises.

Building for the Future

As businesses navigate changing markets, technological disruption and increasing competition, LTIF seeks to provide entrepreneurs and investors with access to networks, strategies, partnerships and opportunities for sustainable growth.

The organisers say the forum is ultimately aimed at connecting “vision, opportunity, and execution” while encouraging businesses to build with excellence, responsibility and long-term vision.

For participants, LTIF represents a platform where commerce, investment and purpose intersect, with a focus on strengthening enterprise and expanding economic opportunities across Africa.
