Nigeria's Global Stage Debut: 'Davos House' Launched to Woo Investors at WEF 2026

The Federal Government of Nigeria has announced the establishment of Nigeria House Davos, a landmark initiative set to debut at the 56th Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) 2026,scheduled for January 19–23, 2026, in Davos, Switzerland. The initiative marks Nigeria’s first official National House on the Davos Promenade and represents a strategic platform to project the country’s ongoing economic reforms, investment readiness, institutional capacity, and cultural identity on the global stage.

Nigeria House Davos is designed to serve as a high-impact national engagement hub aimed at strengthening foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows, deepening strategic global partnerships, and enhancing Nigeria’s international economic positioning. The initiative aligns directly with the Federal Government’s Renewed Hope Agenda, underscoring a clear commitment to economic transformation, global competitiveness, and sustainable growth.

The project is being delivered through an innovative Public–Private Partnership (PPP) framework, bringing together key government institutions and private-sector expertise. Participating ministries include the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment, the Ministry of Finance, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Execution is being led by Eviola & Co Integrated Services Ltd as the Lead Coordinating and Executing Organisation, working in consortium with Lex-Con Advisory Services Ltd and UFAM Services Nigeria Ltd, alongside international technical and delivery partners. This structure blends public-sector oversight with private-sector execution capability, ensuring credibility, professionalism, and effective national representation.

As a sovereign convening platform, Nigeria House Davos will host a wide range of high-level engagements, including ministerial meetings, policy dialogues, investment roundtables, bilateral discussions, and cultural diplomacy initiatives. Its programme is structured around five thematic focus areas: 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. Cross-cutting issues such as finance, legislation, investment security, and investor assurance will be integrated across all sessions to ensure a holistic and policy-aligned engagement framework.

Globally, leading countries and major corporations have long leveraged national houses at Davos as strategic tools for economic diplomacy, investor engagement, and policy signaling. With Nigeria House Davos, the country joins this tradition, positioning itself more deliberately within global economic conversations and reinforcing its readiness to attract capital, partnerships, and long-term investment in priority sectors.
