Nigeria to Launch First National Pavilion at Davos to Boost Investment
Nigeria will make its debut at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos with its first-ever national pavilion, Nigeria House, from January 19–23, 2026. The move is aimed at converting global interest into bankable investments and rebuilding foreign direct investment (FDI) pipelines strained by years of policy uncertainty and capital flight.
Located along the Davos Promenade, Nigeria House is designed to go beyond symbolic participation, focusing on structured deal-making and post-forum investment commitments. Officials say it will pair policy clarity with investment-ready projects and credible private-sector partners to shorten deal cycles and accelerate capital inflows into Africa’s largest economy.
Industry, Trade and Investment Minister Jumoke Oduwole said:
“Nigeria’s focus is on deepening reforms, strengthening foreign direct investment pipelines, and translating global interest into real economic outcomes. Nigeria House reflects our commitment to policy clarity, credible partnerships, and sustainable value creation.”
The five-day programme will focus on four priority sectors aligned with government reforms:
• Solid minerals, mining value chains, trade infrastructure, and agriculture
• Climate investment, energy, and environmental sustainability
• Digital trade and technology
• Creative economy and cultural exports
Activities will include sector-focused investor roundtables, bilateral meetings, policy dialogues, and cross-sector sessions to define post-Davos investment pathways. Target participants include institutional investors, development finance institutions, and multinational executives, with discussions spanning gas-to-power, renewables, mining, digital infrastructure, AI, and cultural exports.
Organisers describe Nigeria House as a pan-Nigerian public-private platform intended to align policy, capital, and enterprise, signalling that ongoing reforms are translating into investable opportunities.
The initiative is backed by the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade, and Investment and executed by Eviola & Co Integrated Services LTD, Lex – Con Advisory Services LTD, and UFAM Services Nigeria LTD, with sponsors including Bank of Agriculture, Africa Finance Corporation, Nepal Energies, Coronation Group, Sunbeth Global Concepts, and others.
