The Federal Government has announced the establishment of Nigeria House Davos ahead of the 56th Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF), scheduled to hold from January 19 to 23, 2026, in Davos, Switzerland.
The announcement was signed by Abiodun Oladunjoye, Director (Information & Public Relations), State House, on Friday.
The initiative marks Nigeria’s first official National House on the Davos Promenade and is aimed at projecting the country’s economic reforms, investment readiness, institutional capacity, and cultural identity on the global stage.
The platform is designed to attract foreign direct investment (FDI), strengthen strategic partnerships, and enhance Nigeria’s global economic standing in line with the administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
According to the State House, Nigeria House Davos was established through a Public–Private Partnership (PPP) involving relevant ministries, including the Federal Ministries of Industry, Trade and Investment; Finance; and Foreign Affairs, in collaboration with the private sector.
Eviola & Co Integrated Services Ltd will serve 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.
The partnership structure is intended to combine public-sector oversight with private-sector execution expertise to ensure credible and effective national representation.
Nigeria House Davos will function as a sovereign engagement hub for ministerial meetings, high-level roundtables, policy dialogues, investment discussions, cultural diplomacy activities, and strategic bilateral engagements.
Its five-day programme will focus on key thematic areas, including solid minerals and mining value chains; trade infrastructure and agriculture; climate investment; energy and environmental sustainability; digital trade and technology; the creative economy and cultural exports; and cross-sector convergence.
Issues relating to finance, legislation, investment security, and investor assurance will be integrated across all sessions.
The Presidency noted that for decades, countries and multinational corporations have used national pavilions at Davos as tools of economic diplomacy and soft power.
With the establishment of Nigeria House Davos, Nigeria joins this global practice, allowing it to present its economic narrative directly to international decision-makers and investors.
The Federal Government has called on key public institutions, private sector stakeholders, development finance institutions, and international partners to participate strategically in order to ensure a unified and impactful Nigerian presence at Davos.
The statement said Nigeria House Davos reflects the country’s ambition and readiness to engage the global community, projecting Nigeria as a reform-oriented economy open to investment and international collaboration.
