The third edition of the Ghana Business League Awards (GBLA) lit up the corporate landscape with a grand celebration of business excellence and innovation.
Organized by Maven Communications, the event honored outstanding companies that have shown remarkable acumen, growth, and impact across key sectors of the Ghanaian economy.
This year’s awards focused on recognizing businesses not just for their market share but for their contributions to supply, manufacturing, and service industries.
Winners were selected through a rigorous process led by a jury of industry experts and influential media figures.
Held in a lively and elegant setting, the ceremony blended professional recognition with vibrant entertainment, fine dining, and a memorable awards presentation.
The night underscored the values of vision, hard work, and sustainable growth, which continue to define Ghana’s corporate landscape.
With its reputation for delivering high-stakes, high-impact corporate events across Africa, Maven Communications once again demonstrated why it remains the go-to organizer for milestone industry gatherings like the GBLA.
Hon. Sampson Ahi, Member of Parliament for Bodi and Deputy Minister for Trade, Agribusiness, and Industry, served as the Special Guest of Honour.
In his address, he praised the transformative impact of Ghanaian businesses and the power of private sector innovation to drive national development.
“Tonight is more than just an award ceremony—it is a testament to the power of vision, the triumph of perseverance, and the collective wealth of a nation rising above challenges to create prosperity,” Hon. Ahi remarked.
He reaffirmed the government’s commitment to creating a business-friendly environment through robust regulatory reforms and strategic partnerships with the private sector.
The Ministry, he noted, is committed to resetting the economy with a 24-hour economic agenda, aimed at making Ghana’s business environment more agile and responsive.
“Platforms like these are critical tools in our collective mission to build a resilient, inclusive, and prosperous economy,” he added.

Mr. Andrew Akoto, Country Manager of KPMG Ghana, has extended heartfelt congratulations to all winners at the Ghana Business League Awards 2025, applauding their dedication, innovation, and resilience in advancing excellence within the private sector.
He commended the honourees for setting high standards and driving business transformation across various industries, describing them as “beacons of hope and progress in Ghana’s economic journey.”
He used the occasion to emphasize the critical role of private businesses in national development, noting that sustained economic growth depends largely on a vibrant, well-supported private sector. “When businesses thrive, jobs are created, innovation is spurred, and government revenue increases,” he said.
Mr. Akoto called for stronger collaboration between the private sector and policymakers to create an enabling environment that fosters investment, productivity, and sustainable economic progress.
In all 41 Businesses were awarded.
