The 22nd edition of the Ghana Club 100 (GC100) Awards, scheduled for Wednesday, 18 November 2026, at the Palms Convention Centre in Accra, will introduce five new discretionary award categories.
The new categories are designed to recognise institutions and individuals whose contributions are helping to attract investment, create value and strengthen Ghana’s competitiveness in the global economy. They include the Outstanding FDI Contribution Award, the Investment Facilitation Excellence Award, the Regional Investment Facilitation Leadership Award, the Diaspora Investment Champion Award, and the Inclusive Business and Disability Impact Award. Honourees will be announced at the ceremony.
Organised by the Ghana Investment Promotion Authority (GIPA), this year’s awards are being held under the theme “Investing in Ghana’s New Economy: Building a Productive Economy that Creates Value and Competes Globally.” The theme reflects Ghana’s ambition to accelerate industrialisation, promote value addition and position the country as a destination for high-quality investment.
Established in 1998, the GC100 Awards have evolved from a ranking system focused largely on financial performance into a comprehensive assessment of corporate excellence. The evaluation now covers governance, sustainability, tax compliance, employment creation and Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) standards.
Companies that have featured among the top-ranked firms over the years include Ashanti Goldfields, Scancom PLC (MTN Ghana), Ghana Commercial Bank, Stanbic Bank Ghana, Gold Fields Ghana, Nestlé Ghana, Kasapreko Company Limited, Newmont Ghana, Toyota Ghana, Unilever Ghana, Produce Buying Company and Enterprise Life Assurance, among others.
The credibility of the awards is reinforced by an independent ranking process conducted by Ernst & Young (EY) Ghana, the ranking partner for the Ghana Club 100 Awards. This objective assessment helps ensure transparency and integrity, establishing the GC100 as one of the country’s most enduring business recognition programmes.
The awards ceremony will bring together high-profile guests from government, leading businesses, investors and other key stakeholders for an evening of networking and celebration. Guests can expect performances by some of Ghana’s finest entertainers alongside the presentation of awards.
According to Mr Simon Madjie, Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Investment Promotion Authority, the new awards acknowledge that investment success extends beyond corporate performance. Recognising these efforts helps reinforce investor confidence and showcases the broader ecosystem that supports business success in Ghana.
“As global competition for investment intensifies, countries must demonstrate not only strong economic potential but also effective institutions and partnerships. These recognitions send a powerful message that Ghana is committed to creating an environment where businesses can thrive, innovate and compete globally,” he said.
As Ghana advances its investment and industrial transformation agenda, the 22nd edition of the GC100 Awards will celebrate outstanding corporate achievements while reinforcing the country’s vision for a competitive and productive economy.
