Sectors
Where we work.
Three sectors where DACH and Ghanaian SMEs have something real to offer each other.
Agriculture & agro-processing
- Why it matters
- Agriculture is one of Ghana's largest employers, and crops such as cocoa, cashew and shea are traded worldwide. Much of the value is still added outside the country.
- For companies from Germany, Austria, Switzerland
- Processing equipment, packaging, inputs and know-how; sourcing partners for raw and semi-processed products.
- For Ghanaian companies
- European buyers and technology partners, and preparation for the quality and documentation standards they expect.
Tourism & hospitality
- Why it matters
- Ghana draws leisure, heritage and diaspora travellers as well as business visitors to Accra, and the supply of quality accommodation outside the capital is still thin.
- For companies from Germany, Austria, Switzerland
- Site visits for hotel and guesthouse projects, local operating partners, and tour operator partnerships.
- For Ghanaian companies
- Contacts to European tour operators and travel trade fairs, and investor-ready profiles for hospitality projects.
Trade & logistics
- Why it matters
- Tema is one of West Africa's main ports, and Accra hosts the secretariat of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). Ghana is a natural base for regional trade.
- For companies from Germany, Austria, Switzerland
- Distributors, warehousing and customs partners; the rules that apply to foreign trading companies.
- For Ghanaian companies
- European importers and distributors for Ghanaian products, and the paperwork that makes a first shipment work.
