Nigeria Launches Historic Nigeria House Davos Ahead of World Economic Forum 2026

By Emmanuel Kwada

The Federal Government of Nigeria has announced the establishment of Nigeria House Davos, marking the country’s first official national pavilion at the World Economic Forum. The initiative will make its debut at the 56th Annual Meeting, scheduled for January 19–23, 2026, in Davos-Klosters, Switzerland.

Located on the prominent Davos Promenade, where global leaders and investors gather, Nigeria House Davos places Nigeria alongside nations that have long used such dedicated spaces for economic diplomacy and influence. This step reflects a confident push to highlight Nigeria’s reforms and opportunities under the Renewed Hope Agenda.

Developed through a Public-Private Partnership, the project unites key ministries such as Industry, Trade & Investment, Finance, and Foreign Affairs with private sector capabilities. Eviola & Co Integrated Services Ltd leads coordination and execution, supported by Lex-Con Advisory Services Ltd, UFAM Services Nigeria Ltd, and international partners.

The pavilion will host ministerial engagements, strategic bilateral discussions, roundtables, policy dialogues, and investment-focused meetings, while also showcasing Nigeria’s cultural heritage.

Its programme spans five thematic days focused on solid minerals and mining value chains, trade infrastructure and agriculture, climate investment, energy and environmental sustainability, digital trade and technology, and the creative economy and cultural exports, with ongoing emphasis on finance, legislation, investment security, and investor assurances.

Nigeria House Davos allows the country to present its own narrative directly to global decision-makers, positioning it as a reform-oriented economy open to partnerships and investment.

The Presidency has urged broad participation from public institutions, the private sector, development finance organisations, and international allies to make this debut unified and effective.

As preparations advance for WEF 2026, Nigeria House Davos signals Nigeria’s ambition to transform global conversations into tangible opportunities and partnerships.
