Nigeria will make history in January 2026 with the launch of its first-ever Nigeria House at the World Economic Forum annual meeting, marking the country’s inaugural national house presence in the forum’s more than five-decade history.
Debuting at the 56th annual meeting of the World Economic Forum, Nigeria House Davos will serve as Nigeria’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.
“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,” Jumoke Oduwole, the minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, said in a statement.
According to the statement, Nigeria House Davos represents a shift from episodic participation to a coordinated, outcomes-driven national presence at the World Economic Forum.
The initiative was designed as a pan-Nigerian public-private platform, it provides a credible interface for sustained engagement between Nigeria and global investors, development partners, and industry leaders.
According to the statement, programming will include high-level panels, fireside conversations, curated investor roundtables, bilateral meetings, sector-focused dialogues, cultural showcases, and structured networking, all oriented toward delivering measurable economic outcomes.
Similarly, the central objective of Nigeria House Davos 2026 is to strengthen and institutionalise Nigeria’s foreign direct investment (FDI) pipelines, moving beyond visibility to structured, bankable engagement and sustained post-Davos follow-through.
The platform is designed to translate global investor interest into defined investment pathways by aligning policy clarity, investment-ready opportunities, and credible private-sector counterparties.
“Through curated investor roundtables, bilateral meetings, and sector-focused dialogues, Nigeria House Davos will support shorter deal cycles, improved investor confidence, and accelerated capital deployment into priority sectors of the Nigerian economy.”
According to the statement, Nigeria House Davos 2026 is structured around four core economic pillars, reflecting Nigeria’s reform agenda, comparative advantages, and growth priorities.
The four strategic pilars are: Solid Minerals, Mining Value Chains, Trade Infrastructure and Agriculture.
– Solid minerals and mining value chains, agriculture and food systems, agro-processing, trade infrastructure and logistics, and export competitiveness.
2. Climate Investment, Energy & Environmental Sustainability

3. Digital Trade & Technology

4. Creative Economy & Cultural Exports
