Four-day investment summit to position Nigeria’s capital as a global hub for sustainable growth, innovation, and strategic partnerships.
Abuja is gearing up to take center stage in the global investment arena as it prepares to host the 2025 Abuja Business Investment Expo, an international gathering expected to draw more than 500 high-profile participants from over 40 countries. Scheduled for October 22 to 25, 2025, the landmark event will take place at the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Conference Centre.
Organized by the Abuja Investment Company Limited (AICL) and hosted by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Barrister Nyesom Wike, the Expo is designed to showcase the economic potential of Abuja, other Nigerian sub-nationals, and emerging markets worldwide. This year’s theme, “Empowering Sustainable Growth: Unlocking Potential in Emerging Markets,” underscores the importance of innovative, inclusive, and forward-thinking strategies for economic development.
According to Dr. Maureen Tamuno, Group Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of AICL, the summit will do more than highlight opportunities, it will provide a solution-focused platform to address challenges confronting emerging economies. “This convergence of diverse perspectives will pave the way for practical solutions and actionable strategies that drive innovation, foster collaboration, and unlock new pathways to growth,” she said.
The four-day program will feature a dynamic mix of keynote addresses, panel discussions, interactive debates, and targeted business matchmaking sessions, creating opportunities for meaningful dialogue between government officials, investors, diplomats, financiers, industry leaders, and innovators.
Among the summit’s key objectives are:
Showcasing investment opportunities in diverse sectors within the FCT and across Nigeria.
Facilitating partnerships between government agencies and the private sector to spur innovation and economic growth.
Connecting local entrepreneurs with international investors and development partners.
Providing a robust knowledge exchange platform on investment trends, regulatory frameworks, and market intelligence.
Minister Wike described the Expo as part of his broader vision to reposition Abuja as a premier global investment destination. He stressed that the city is ready to embrace sustainable urban development and economic diversification through strategic partnerships and private sector engagement.
With an anticipated influx of influential decision-makers and capital investors, the 2025 Abuja Business Investment Expo is set to become a pivotal event, positioning the Nigerian capital as a magnet for international trade, innovation, and transformative development in the years ahead.
