The Federal Government (FG) has announced the establishment of Nigeria House Davos, marking the country’s first official national pavilion on the prestigious Davos Promenade in Switzerland.
The initiative will debut during the 56th Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF), scheduled for January 19–23, 2026.
This move positions Nigeria alongside leading global powers that utilise “National Houses” to capture the attention of the world’s most influential investors, policymakers, and corporate leaders.
Nigeria House Davos is designed as a sovereign convening hub to project the Renewed Hope Agenda on the global stage.

It aims to move Nigeria’s international engagement beyond mere participation toward structured deal-making and direct investment.
According to the State House, the platform will facilitate high-level ministerial engagements by providing direct access to Nigerian policymakers.
It will also host investment roundtables designed to pair clear government policies with bankable projects.
In addition, the platform will enable strategic bilateral discussions aimed at deepening partnerships with global corporations and sovereign wealth funds.
It will further promote cultural diplomacy by showcasing Nigeria’s cultural identity and creative exports.
The project is a collaborative effort between the public sector and private industry expertise.
The initiative is being driven by government leadership from the Federal Ministries ofIndustry, Trade & Investment, Finance, and Foreign Affairs.
Its execution is being handled by a consortium led by Eviola & Co Integrated Services Ltd, in partnership with Lex-Con Advisory Services Ltd and UFAM Services Nigeria Ltd, with support from international technical delivery partners.
This structure ensures that Nigeria’s debut on the Davos Promenade is professionally executed and impactful, combining state authority with private-sector efficiency.
The programme for Nigeria House Davos is organised into five thematic days, with each day dedicated to a critical sector of the Nigerian economy.
Day one will focus on solid minerals and mining value chains, highlighting opportunities across exploration, processing, and value addition.
Day two will centre on trade infrastructure and agriculture, examining how improved logistics and agri-value chains can drive economic growth.
Day three will address climate investment, energy, and environmental sustainability, with discussions on financing climate solutions and advancing clean energy.
Day four will spotlight digital trade and technology, exploring innovation, digital infrastructure, and Nigeria’s role in the global digital economy.
Day five will conclude with a focus on the creative economy and cultural exports, showcasing Nigeria’s creative industries and their potential for global market expansion.
Finance, Legislation, and Investor Security will be integrated as cross-cutting themes throughout all five days.
For decades, nations have used “Davos Houses” as instruments of soft power. By securing a spot on the Promenade, Nigeria is signalling its readiness to present its own narrative and engage global decision-makers directly, rather than through third-party lenses.
