The Nigerian government announced the creation of Nigeria House Davos, a sovereign convening platform, during the 56th Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) scheduled for January 19‑23, 2026 in Davos, Switzerland. This initiative marks Nigeria’s first official National House on the Davos Promenade and aims to showcase the country’s economic reforms, investment readiness, institutional strength, and cultural identity on the global stage.
Nigeria House Davos is designed to boost foreign direct investment flows, deepen strategic partnerships, and advance the nation’s global economic positioning in line with the administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda. The platform results from a public‑private partnership involving key ministries—Industry, Trade & Investment; Finance; and Foreign Affairs—as well as the private sector. The programme will span five thematic days, covering solid minerals, mining value chains, trade infrastructure, agriculture, climate investment, energy, environmental sustainability, digital trade, technology, the creative economy, and cultural exports. These discussions will integrate finance, legislation, investment security, and investor assurance, providing a comprehensive overview of Nigeria’s economic landscape.
For decades, leading nations and global corporations have used Davos Houses as tools of soft power, economic diplomacy, and global influence. With Nigeria House Davos, Nigeria joins this league, presenting its narrative from its own perspective and positioning itself as a reform‑driven economy open to partnership and investment. The presidency has encouraged strategic participation by key public institutions, the private sector, development finance institutions, and international partners to ensure a unified, dignified, and impactful debut on the Davos Promenade.
Nigeria House Davos reflects the country’s confidence, ambition, and readiness to engage the world, presenting its story with clarity, credibility, and purpose. As Nigeria prepares for the WEF, the platform is expected to offer unique opportunities for ministerial engagements, high‑level roundtables, policy dialogues, investment meetings, cultural diplomacy, and strategic bilateral discussions. With its launch, Nigeria House Davos is poised to become a vital instrument in the nation’s economic diplomacy, promoting investment, trade, and cooperation with international partners.
