Ghana is set to witness one of its most ambitious economic initiatives with the unveiling of the $1.5 billion Gomoa Central Special Economic Zone (GCSEZ) on October 21, 2025, at the Mövenpick Ambassador Hotel in Accra. The 21,000-acre project, expected to create over 60,000 jobs, represents a bold step towards sustainable industrialisation and positions Gomoa Central as a frontrunner in Africa’s economic transformation. The event will be led by Hon. Kwame Asare Obeng, Member of Parliament for Gomoa Central, alongside President John Dramani Mahama, Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin, Presidential Advisor Goosie Tanoh, and other dignitaries, investors, and traditional leaders.
Jointly managed by the Gomoa Central Development Trust and supported by the Ghana Free Zones Authority, the GCSEZ will integrate five key development pillars: a 24-hour business district, an eco-recreational park, organic farming zones, an eco-industrial hub, and a renewable energy-powered crypto mining facility projected to generate over $100 million annually. The project also seeks to pioneer AfCFTA digital currency trade, using blockchain technology to facilitate transactions across 54 African nations, potentially adding $1.5 billion to Ghana’s GDP by 2030.
According to Hon. Obeng, the initiative goes beyond traditional industrialisation models by combining green energy, digital innovation, and inclusive development. “What we’re building in Gomoa Central isn’t just another industrial park it’s a complete ecosystem that proves sustainability and profitability can thrive together,” he said. With affordable worker housing, long-term secured land leases, and a plan to train one million digital coders, the project aims to empower Ghana’s youth and demonstrate how sustainable development can redefine Africa’s economic future.
