Nigeria is set to make a landmark entry at the World Economic Forum 2026 with the launch of its first-ever Nigeria House Davos, a dedicated national platform aimed at deepening global economic engagement and attracting foreign investment. The initiative will debut during the 56th Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum, scheduled for January 19 to 23, 2026, in Davos, Switzerland, positioning Nigeria more visibly within high-level global policy and business discussions.
The project is being delivered through a public private partnership involving key government institutions and private sector partners. The Presidency said the platform is designed to showcase Nigeria’s economic reforms, investment opportunities, institutional strengths and cultural assets to global investors, policymakers and development partners, as highlighted by nairametrics.
Nigeria House Davos will function as a sovereign engagement hub throughout the forum, hosting ministerial sessions, policy dialogues, bilateral meetings and investor roundtables. Programming will focus on priority sectors such as energy and climate finance, trade and industrialisation, solid minerals, agriculture, digital innovation and the creative economy, with investment security and financing embedded across discussions, as reported by local policy briefings on the initiative.
Officials say the debut of Nigeria House Davos reflects a renewed push to strengthen economic diplomacy and reposition the country as a serious destination for long-term capital. The move aligns with President Bola Tinubu’s broader economic agenda to expand foreign direct investment, deepen partnerships and project Nigeria’s economic narrative more assertively on the global stage, The Star reported.
