The Ghana Business League Awards (GBLA) 2026 will celebrate business excellence, innovation, and leadership across Ghana’s corporate landscape. The fourth edition of the awards will take place on June 27, 2026, at the Kempinski Hotel Gold Coast City in Accra.
Maven Communications and Zeliatte Media organise the GBLA, with support from Africaworks. The event aims to recognise outstanding performance across manufacturing, supply, and service sectors. It also encourages competitiveness and innovation within the Ghanaian business environment.
This initiative aligns with Ghana's broader economic goal of fostering a robust and competitive private sector. Recognising excellent businesses can stimulate investment and improve industry standards, critical for sustainable development. Such awards platforms also enhance Ghana's appeal as a destination for foreign direct investment.
Organisers state that the Ghana Business League Awards has grown into a leading business recognition platform in the country. It highlights organisations demonstrating exceptional leadership, operational excellence, and industry impact. The awards provide a platform for businesses to strengthen their visibility and credibility among stakeholders.
The 2026 edition expects high-level participation from both government and the private sector. Expected guests include Energy and Green Transition Minister John Abdulai Jinapor and Trade and Agribusiness Minister Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare. KPMG Ghana Country Managing Partner Andrew Akoto and Ghana Investment Promotion Centre CEO Simon Madjie will also attend. This high-profile attendance underscores the government's commitment to supporting private sector development and acknowledging key economic contributors.
Previous award recipients span a wide range of sectors, including banking, agribusiness, manufacturing, and healthcare. Letshego Ghana Savings and Loans PLC won Business Leader of the Year. Accra City Hotel received recognition for green innovation. Everpack Ghana Limited was honoured in manufacturing, demonstrating the awards' broad impact.
Individual achievements are also recognised within the business community. Frank Adjei Mensah of LESFAM Industries was named Entrepreneur CEO of the Year. Gopal Vasu of M&G Pharmaceuticals received the Exemplary Business Personality award. These accolades highlight individual contributions to Ghana's economic dynamism across diverse fields.
Organisers believe the awards play a vital role in promoting best practices and raising standards across Ghana’s business environment. By highlighting successful companies and individuals, the GBLA fosters a culture of excellence and innovation. This contributes to national economic growth and job creation.
The Ghana Business League Awards continues to provide a crucial platform for recognising enterprises and leaders. These leaders are actively shaping the future of Ghana’s economy. The event’s ongoing success indicates its importance to the nation's corporate landscape.
