AmCham Hosts High-Level CEO Breakfast Summit to Shape 2026 Advocacy Priorities

AmCham Ghana convened the nation’s top business leaders on Wednesday, November 12, 2025, for the annual CEO Breakfast Summit, held at the Chief of Mission Residence and hosted in partnership with the U.S. Embassy. The closed-door, invitation-only gathering brought together over 50 CEOs, Country Managers, and senior executives from leading U.S. and Ghanaian companies to deliberate on the most pressing cross-cutting challenges affecting investment, competitiveness, and business operations in Ghana.

Moderated by Mr. Joe Mensah, AmCham Board Director, the Summit served as a strategic platform for candid dialogue, peer learning, and consensus-building. Opening remarks from the U.S. Chargé d’Affaires and the AmCham Board CEO set a collaborative tone, reaffirming the shared commitment to strengthening the U.S.–Ghana commercial partnership and developing a clear and actionable advocacy roadmap for 2026.

Outcome: Prioritizing the 2026 Advocacy Agenda

During a live prioritization session, CEOs collectively ranked the most pressing issues that AmCham should champion in 2026. The outcome will form the foundation of the 2026 Member Pain-Point & Advocacy Agenda, with AmCham committing to develop detailed position papers and follow-up strategies with relevant ministries and agencies.

The Chamber also reaffirmed its intention to deepen collaboration with the U.S. Embassy’s Economic and Commercial Sections as strategic partners in addressing systemic barriers to trade and investment.

Next Steps

  • A concise post-summit report will be circulated to all participants.
  • CEO participants will be invited to join upcoming sector committees and the revamped Advocacy Committee to drive sustained engagement and impact.

The Summit forms part of the broader AmCham 2.0 Executive Leadership Series, which seeks to strengthen the Chamber’s role as the leading voice of U.S. business in Ghana while fostering a predictable, transparent, and investment-friendly environment.
