The Diaspora Property Expo 2025 took place at 1735 Market St, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania from March 21 to 23, 2025 .This event connected the Ghanaian diaspora with real estate investment opportunities in Ghana, featuring exhibitors, speakers, and networking sessions.
It was held under the theme, “Harnessing Ghana’s Real Estate Investment Potential for the Diaspora”.
Nana Kwebu Ewusi VII, Paramount Chief of Abeadze Traditional Area and Board Chair of the Diaspora Property Expo, officially opened the event. His remarks underscored the dual purpose of the expo: facilitating economic development, while strengthening cultural ties. “This expo represents not just an investment opportunity, but a reconnection of the diaspora with their roots”, he said.

The Hon. Kenneth Gilbert Adjei, Minister of Works, Housing and Water Resources, delivered the keynote address. In his address he said “Our urban population stands at 59% and is growing at 3.3% annually”, he stated. “While we have reduced the housing deficit from 2.8 million to 1.8 million units, this gap, coupled with our growing urban population, offers tremendous investment potential”.

The Minister stressed that Ghana’s government is implementing strategic measures to address land acquisition challenges, streamline the land tenure system, and improve contract efficiency – all designed to make property investment more accessible to the diaspora. He further informed the gathering of the Ghana Government’s District Housing Project, which would enable the Diasporas to own homes in their hometown, bringing them closer to their roots.
“Ghana is open for business”, declared Minister Adjei, highlighting the country’s growing economy, political stability, and strategic location. “The housing sector is not just about putting roofs over heads; it’s a symbol of stability, security, and comfort, tied to the quality of life and health of our citizens”.

In a gesture highlighting the significance of the event, Philadelphia City Council Member, Kendra Brooks presented a citation to Nana Kwebu Ewusi VII, Board Chair of the Diaspora Property Expo for his commitment to connecting Diasporas to Africa.
