Written on
The Ghana Property & Lifestyle Expo launched its 10th anniversary edition at Ghana's High Commission in London, marking a decade of connecting diaspora investors with the country's property market.
The Ghana Property & Lifestyle Expo has launched its 10th anniversary edition at a reception held at the Ghana High Commission in Belgravia, London, under the theme "A Decade of Impact: Bridging Continents, Building Futures".
The event brought together diplomatic representatives, political leaders, business executives and stakeholders from the property, banking, legal, investment and lifestyle sectors.
Delivering the keynote address, Ghana's High Commissioner to the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland, Mrs Sabah Zita Benson, congratulated co-founders Anna and Victoria Agyekum on developing the Expo into an established international platform that deepens engagement between Ghana and its diaspora. She said the Expo reflects the priorities of the Government of Ghana under President John Dramani Mahama, particularly its recognition of the diaspora as a partner in investment, knowledge-sharing, innovation and national development.
Founded in London in 2016 and developed into a full-scale expo in 2017, the platform launched in Atlanta in 2018, continued online during the COVID-19 pandemic, introduced its Accra edition in 2023 and returned to the United States with an edition in Washington, DC, in 2024.
The Expo now brings together developers, banks, mortgage providers, legal professionals, investment specialists, government agencies and businesses across tourism, trade, technology and lifestyle. According to the organisers, its connections have helped facilitate more than US$100 million in property transactions and provided diaspora investors with credible information and direct access to opportunities in Ghana.
