President John Dramani Mahama to Launch CEO–Government Compact 2026 at the 10th Ghana CEO Summit & Expo.
CEO Network Ghana has announced the upcoming launch of the CEO–Government Compact 2026, a flagship public–private framework aimed at accelerating reform implementation, rebuilding investor and business confidence, and supporting Ghana’s economic transformation.
The Compact will be officially launched by President John Dramani Mahama, who will serve as Special Guest of Honour at the 10th Ghana CEO Summit & Expo, scheduled for Monday, May 18, 2026, at the Kempinski Gold Coast Hotel in Accra.
The launch will take place during the Summit’s 10th Anniversary Edition, themed “Accelerating Ghana’s Economic Transformation: Driving Bold Reforms through Leadership, Technology, and Industrialization for Sustainable Growth,” with the tagline “From Vision to Action.”
According to CEO Network Ghana, the CEO–Government Compact 2026 marks a deliberate shift from policy dialogue to execution, introducing a structured mechanism for shared accountability between government and the private sector. The framework is expected to align national reform priorities with private-sector leadership, investment, innovation, and clearly defined performance outcomes over a five-year period.
Speaking ahead of the Summit, Ernest De-Graft Egyir, Founding CEO of CEO Network Ghana and the Ghana CEO Summit & Expo, described the Compact as a critical milestone in Ghana’s reform agenda.
“The CEO–Government Compact 2026 marks a new chapter in Ghana’s reform journey. It is about restoring confidence, strengthening trust, and ensuring that both government and business leaders are jointly accountable for delivering results. This Compact moves us decisively from vision to action,” he said.
The Compact will focus on strengthening policy execution and regulatory efficiency, accelerating technology-driven governance and productivity, supporting industrialisation and job creation, and introducing measurable indicators to track reform progress and outcomes.
The 10th Ghana CEO Summit & Expo is expected to bring together more than 1,000 chief executives, senior executives, policymakers, and global thought leaders, reinforcing its position as Ghana’s premier business leadership platform. Over the past decade, the Summit has played a key role in shaping national economic policy dialogue, deepening public–private collaboration, and promoting sustainable economic development.
The formal endorsement of the CEO–Government Compact 2026 is expected to be a major outcome of the Summit, providing a roadmap for coordinated public–private engagement and reform delivery through 2030.
