The Gomoa Central Special Economic Zone (GCSEZ) project will be officially unveiled on October 21, 2025, in Accra.
The project spanning over 21,000 acres is expected to cost $1.5 billion and create about 60,000 jobs.
Mr Kwame Asare Obeng, the Member of Parliament for Gomoa Central, would lead the unveiling alongside President John Dramani Mahama, Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin, Mr Goosie Tanoh, Presidential Advisor on the 24-hour economy initiative, Mr Albert Kwabena Dwumfour, President of the Ghana Journalists Association, traditional authorities, and international investors.
The project, jointly managed by the Gomoa Central Development Trust and supported by the Ghana
Free Zones Authority, marks a decisive step towards realising Ghana’s 24-hour economy vision.
“What we’re building in Gomoa Central isn’t just another industrial park. This is a complete ecosystem that proves sustainability and profitability can thrive together. We’re creating a model that Africa has never seen before, one that our children will be proud of and that will inspire similar developments across the continent,” said Mr Asare Obeng.
The GCSEZ integrates five interconnected pillars: a 24-hour business district designed to support 10,000 businesses by 2032, an eco-recreational park targeting one million visitors annually by 2030, and organic and sustainable farming zones covering 2,100 acres.
It also includes an integrated eco-industrial hub housing 200 factories and a renewable energy-powered crypto mining facility generating over $100 million annually.
The zone is expected to operate as a pioneering platform for AfCFTA digital currency trade, with blockchain-based systems designed to facilitate transactions across 54 African countries.
The project aims to capture 30% of AfCFTA transactions by 2030, potentially adding $1.5 billion to Ghana’s GDP.
“We’ve spent years planning this. Every element has been carefully designed to work together. Our renewable energy infrastructure will provide some of the lowest operational expenses in the region.
“Our location provides us with access to multiple ports and direct links to the Lagos-Abidjan Corridor. And our commitment to sustainability means we’re building something that will benefit generations to come,” the Member of Parliament for Gomoa Central added.
The Gomoa Central Development Trust has secured long-term industrial leases on fully documented land, eliminating any legal uncertainties.
Affordable housing for workers is planned within minutes of industrial operations, and youth empowerment programmes would train one million coders to support the digital infrastructure.
“This project represents the future we’ve been working towards.” It’s about more than job creation, though we expect to create 60,000 direct and indirect jobs. It’s about showing that Ghana can lead Africa into a new era of green industrialisation, digital innovation, and inclusive prosperity,” Mr Asare Obeng stated.
The pre-launch event at the Mövenpick Ambassador Hotel Accra would provide attendees with exclusive insights into investment opportunities, infrastructure plans, and the strategic vision driving this unprecedented development.
