The West-Central Africa Import Forum (WCI Forum) is the most concentrated annual meeting point between Turkish suppliers and West and Central African buyers. The 2026 edition takes place in Accra on June 24 and is expected to draw over 100 verified Turkish exhibitors across eight sectors.
What Happens at the WCI Forum
WCI Forum is structured as a pre-scheduled B2B meeting event — not a walk-around exhibition. Each exhibitor confirms their product catalogue and capacity in advance. Buyers book 30-minute meetings before the event through a managed scheduling system. This means when you walk into a meeting at WCI Forum, both sides have already reviewed each other's profiles.
The format eliminates the biggest waste of trade shows: cold approaches to strangers who are not relevant to you. The conversion rate from WCI meeting to active RFQ is significantly higher than at open exhibitions as a result.
Who the 2026 Exhibitors Are
- Construction materials — Ceramic tiles, sanitary ware, steel, PVC systems, glass, and insulation manufacturers.
- Cosmetics & personal care — Skincare, haircare, and hygiene product manufacturers with Halal and EU GMP certification.
- Food & beverage — Canned goods, dried products, sauces, confectionery, and beverages.
- Furniture & home décor — Living room, bedroom, office, and hotel-grade furniture factories.
- FMCG — Cleaning products, paper goods, and household consumables.
- Machinery & equipment — Light industrial, food processing, and construction machinery.
- Textiles & garments — Fabric, workwear, school uniforms, and home textiles.
- Automotive aftermarket — Spare parts and accessories for Japanese and European vehicles common in Ghana.
How to Attend as a Buyer
Ghanaian importers and distributors can register to attend as buyers at no cost. You review the confirmed exhibitor list, select which suppliers you want to meet, and book time slots in advance. Anadolu Gateway's team pre-screens your requirements against each supplier's minimum order quantities and export-ready sectors so you do not waste slots on mismatches.
How to Exhibit as a Turkish Supplier
Turkish manufacturers can exhibit at WCI Forum through GoldBazarr. Exhibiting suppliers receive a listing on the GoldBazarr marketplace, pre-event buyer introductions, and a verified profile that persists after the event. The WCI Forum slot functions as a fast-track to the GoldBazarr verification process.
