Nigeria will make history at the 2026 World Economic Forum (WEF) Annual Meeting in Davos with the launch of its first-ever official national house, marking the country’s inaugural presence in the national house format since the forum began more than five decades ago.
Designed as Nigeria’s primary engagement hub during the five-day Davos gathering, Nigeria House Davos 2026 will operate as an invitation-only platform for high-level investment conversations, policy dialogue, strategic partnerships, and cultural exchange. Located along the Davos Promenade, the space will bring Nigeria’s public and private sector leaders into direct interaction with global stakeholders at a time of shifting economic alignments.
Organisers describe Nigeria House as a pan-Nigerian public-private initiative created to provide a consistent and credible interface between Nigeria and the international investment community. The platform is structured to move discussions beyond symbolism, with an emphasis on outcomes-driven engagement linking policy priorities to capital, innovation, and long-term partnerships.
The programme for Nigeria House Davos 2026 is anchored around key sectors reflecting Nigeria’s reform agenda and economic strengths. These focus areas include mining and solid minerals value chains; agriculture and trade-enabling infrastructure; climate finance, energy transition, and environmental sustainability; digital trade and technology; the creative economy and cultural exports. Each thematic area will be given a dedicated day, with the final day reserved for cross-sector convergence and closing dialogue aimed at aligning policy, finance, innovation, and culture, while outlining post-Davos pathways for investment and collaboration.
Commenting on Nigeria’s participation at global economic platforms, the Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Dr Jumoke Oduwole, said the initiative reflects Nigeria’s commitment to turning international interest into tangible economic outcomes.
She noted that the country remains focused on deepening reforms, strengthening foreign direct investment pipelines, and building credible partnerships that support sustainable value creation across priority sectors of the economy.
Backing the debut is an expanding group of sponsors and partners drawn from finance, infrastructure, energy, professional services, and philanthropy. Support currently includes the Bank of Agriculture, Africa Finance Corporation, Nepal Energies, UFAM Services Nigeria Ltd, Coronation Group, Pipeline Infrastructure Nigeria Limited, AB InBev Africa, Aruwa Capital, Redwire Group, Wigwe & Partners, The Osa Okunbo Foundation, Sunbeth Global Concepts, Roxettes Group, and others, with additional partners expected to join ahead of the January meeting.
Nigeria House Davos 2026 is being delivered by Eviola & Co Integrated Services Ltd in collaboration with Lex-Con Advisory Services Ltd, Intire Services AG (Switzerland), UFAM Services Nigeria Ltd, and key private-sector partners. The organisers say the initiative will convene government leaders, global chief executives, institutional investors, development finance institutions, innovators, and cultural leaders in a setting designed to support sustained, credible engagement during Davos week.
With its debut at WEF 2026, Nigeria House signals a deliberate shift in how Nigeria presents itself on the global economic stage, from episodic participation to a structured national platform focused on continuity, credibility, and measurable outcomes.
