Phase 1 under the MoU will focus on developing the Convention Centre and Exhibition Centre Halls to hold the World Economic Forum ,Africa.
Phase 2 will also include facilities like luxury hotels, high-end malls and other residential and commercial development

It is expected to alder serve as the best venue in Africa for concerts, also complimenting Ghana’s growing status as the destination of choice for young tourists during the Christmas festive season. Other developments coming up on separate sites of the Trade Fair will include a tech hub, built to serve a global market.
The overall completion of the project is to take 3 to 5 years."
