The report indicates that the Ghana Property & Lifestyle Expo launched its 10th anniversary edition at a reception held at the Ghana High Commission in Belgravia, London.
It further notes that held 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.
The launch marked ten years of connecting Ghana with its global diaspora and international investment community, while promoting transparency, professional guidance and trusted access to Ghana’s property and investment market.
High Commissioner commends a decade of resilience and impact
Delivering the keynote address, Her Excellency Mrs Sabah Zita Benson, Ghana’s High Commissioner to the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland, congratulated co-founders Anna and Victoria Agyekum on their resilience, dedication and impact.
She commended them for developing the Expo into an established international platform that deepens engagement between Ghana and its diaspora. She also stated the Expo reflects the priorities of the Government of Ghana under His Excellency President John Dramani Mahama, particularly its recognition of the diaspora as a partner in investment, knowledge-sharing, innovation and national development – not simply as a source of remittances.
A trusted bridge between Ghana and Its diaspora
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. 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.
