Country makes historic debut with national engagement platform to attract investment and deepen global partnerships
Nigeria is set to make history at the World Economic Forum (WEF) Annual Meeting with the launch of its first-ever Nigeria House, marking the country’s inaugural national house presence in the forum’s more than 50-year history.
According to a statement issued on Saturday, the introduction of Nigeria House Davos represents a strategic shift in how the country engages at one of the world’s most influential economic gatherings.
Nigeria House will serve as the country’s official national engagement hub throughout the five-day Davos meeting, offering an invitation-only platform for high-level investment discussions, policy dialogue, strategic partnerships and cultural exchange with global stakeholders.
Located along the Davos Promenade, the Nigeria House is expected to host government officials, global chief executives, institutional investors, development finance institutions, innovators and cultural leaders, at a time of rapid global economic transformation.
Speaking on Nigeria’s participation at international economic forums, the Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Jumoke Oduwole, said the initiative underscores the country’s reform-driven economic agenda.
“Nigeria’s focus is on deepening reforms, strengthening foreign direct investment pipelines, and converting global interest into tangible economic outcomes,” Oduwole said. “Nigeria House at the World Economic Forum reflects our commitment to policy clarity, credible partnerships and sustainable value creation across priority sectors.”
Organisers described Nigeria House Davos as a pan-Nigerian public-private platform, designed to provide a credible and consistent interface between Nigeria and global investors, development partners and industry leaders.
The programme for Nigeria House Davos 2026 is structured around five key economic pillars aligned with the country’s growth priorities and reform agenda. These include solid minerals and mining value chains; trade infrastructure and agriculture; climate investment, energy and environmental sustainability; digital trade and technology; and the creative economy and cultural exports.
Each pillar will be featured on a dedicated day, with the final day focused on cross-sector convergence, bringing together policy, capital, innovation and culture to define post-Davos investment and partnership pathways.
The debut is supported by a growing list of sponsors across finance, infrastructure, energy, professional services and philanthropy. Partners include the Bank of Agriculture, Africa Finance Corporation, Nepal Energies, UFAM Services Nigeria Ltd, Coronation Group, Sunbeth Global Concepts, Redwire Group, Aruwa Capital, Pipeline Infrastructure Nigeria Limited, The Osa Okunbo Foundation, Wigwe & Partners, AB InBev Africa, and Roxettes Group, with more sponsors expected ahead of the January event.
Nigeria House Davos is being delivered by Eviola & Co Integrated Services Ltd, in collaboration with Lex-Con Advisory Services Ltd, UFAM Services Nigeria Ltd, Intire Services AG (Switzerland) and key private-sector partners, bringing together government, business leaders and investors to drive outcomes-focused engagement during Davos week.
