The Federal Government has unveiled Nigeria House Davos, its first official national pavilion on the Davos Promenade, ahead of the 56th Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) from January 19–23 in Davos, Switzerland.

This was obtained in a statement on Friday by Abiodun Oladunjoye, Director of Information & Public Relations, State House.

This public-private partnership (PPP) initiative, led by Eviola & Co Integrated Services Ltd in consortium with Lex-Con Advisory Services Ltd and UFAM Services Nigeria Ltd, involves key ministries including Industry, Trade & Investment, Finance, and Foreign Affairs. It aims to showcase Nigeria’s economic reforms, investment readiness, and cultural identity while boosting foreign direct investment (FDI) under the Renewed Hope Agenda.

Nigeria House Davos will host ministerial engagements, high-level roundtables, policy dialogues, and bilateral discussions across five thematic days: Solid Minerals and Mining Value Chains; Trade Infrastructure and Agriculture; Climate Investment, Energy, and Environmental Sustainability; Digital Trade and Technology; and Creative Economy with Cultural Exports.

Finance, legislation, and investor assurance will thread through all sessions.

The platform positions Nigeria among global leaders using Davos Houses for “soft power, economic diplomacy, and global influence,” allowing the country to “present its narrative from its own perspective, engaging global decision-makers directly, and positioning itself as a serious reform-driven economy open for partnership and investment.”

The Presidency urges participation from public institutions, private sector players, development finance institutions, and international partners to make Nigeria’s debut “unified, dignified, and impactful,” reflecting the nation’s “confidence, ambition, and readiness to engage the world.”
