Port Harcourt — Nigeria has announced the establishment of Nigeria House Davos at the 56th Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum, WEF, 2026, marking the country’s first official National House on the Davos Promenade and a major push to attract global capital and strategic partnerships.
The Federal Government said Nigeria House Davos will debut from January 19–23, 2026, in Davos, Switzerland, positioning the country as a reform-driven, investment-ready economy on one of the world’s most influential economic stages.
This is contained in a statement signed by Mr Abiodun Oladunjoye, Director of Information and Public Relations, State House, Abuja.
Describing the initiative as a strategic national platform, the government said Nigeria House Davos will project the country’s economic reforms, institutional strength, investment opportunities, and cultural identity in line with President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
“This landmark initiative represents Nigeria’s first official National House on the Davos Promenade and a deliberate move to strengthen foreign direct investment flows, deepen strategic partnerships, and advance Nigeria’s global economic positioning,” the statement said.
Nigeria House Davos is being delivered through a Public-Private Partnership, PPP, framework involving key ministries, including the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment; Finance; and Foreign Affairs, working alongside the private sector.
Eviola & Co Integrated Services Ltd is serving as the lead coordinating and executing organisation, in consortium with Lex-Con Advisory Services Ltd and UFAM Services Nigeria Ltd, supported by international technical and delivery partners.
According to the Presidency, the structure combines “public-sector leadership with private-sector execution expertise to ensure a professional, credible, and impactful national representation.”
The platform will function as a sovereign convening space for ministerial engagements, high-level roundtables, policy dialogues, investment meetings, cultural diplomacy, and strategic bilateral discussions.
Its five-day programme will cover key growth sectors, including solid minerals and mining value chains; trade infrastructure and agriculture; climate investment; energy and environmental sustainability; digital trade and technology; creative economy and cultural exports, as well as cross-sector convergence.
Finance, legislation, investment security, and investor assurance will be integrated across all discussions.
“For decades, leading nations and global corporations have leveraged Davos Houses as instruments of soft power, economic diplomacy, and global influence,” the statement noted.
“With Nigeria House Davos, Nigeria now enters this league, presenting its narrative from its own perspective and engaging global decision-makers directly.”
The Presidency urged strong participation from public institutions, the private sector, development finance institutions, and international partners to ensure Nigeria’s first presence on the Davos Promenade is “unified, dignified, and impactful.”
Nigeria House Davos, the government said, reflects the country’s “confidence, ambition, and readiness to engage the world,” projecting Nigeria as a serious destination for long-term investment and partnership.
