Nigeria is set to debut its first-ever Nigeria House at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting, marking the country’s inaugural national house presence in the WEF’s more than five-decade history.
In a statement on Saturday, it was indicated that the Nigeria House would mark a shift in how Nigeria shows up at the annual gathering.
According to the statement, Nigeria House Davos will serve as the country’s official national engagement platform throughout the five-day Davos week, providing an invitation-only space for investment engagement, policy dialogue, strategic partnerships, and cultural exchange with global stakeholders.
Situated along the Davos Promenade, Nigeria House Davos will convene government leaders, global CEOs, institutional investors, development finance institutions, innovators, and cultural leaders at a time of accelerating global economic realignment.
Commenting on Nigeria’s engagement at global economic platforms, Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Dr Jumoke Oduwole, stated, “Nigeria’s focus is on deepening reforms, strengthening foreign direct investment pipelines, and translating global interest into real economic outcomes. Nigeria House at the World Economic Forum reflects our commitment to policy clarity, credible partnerships, and sustainable value creation across priority sectors of the Nigerian economy.”
The national presence at the World Economic Forum is designed as a pan-Nigerian public-private platform, providing a credible interface for sustained engagement between Nigeria and global investors, development partners, and industry leaders.
Organisers said that Nigeria House Davos 2026 is structured around four core economic pillars, reflecting Nigeria’s reform agenda, comparative advantages, and growth priorities: 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 have a dedicated day, with the last day focused on cross-sector convergence and closing dialogue to align policy, capital, innovation, and culture, and define post-Davos investment and partnership pathways.
The debut is backed by an expanding sponsor base spanning finance, infrastructure, energy, professional services, and philanthropy, with support from partners, including 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 additional sponsors expected to join ahead of January.
Nigeria House Davos is executed 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, industry leaders, investors, and innovators to advance credible, outcomes-driven engagement during Davos week.
