The Federal Government has announced the establishment of Nigeria House Davos ahead of the 56th Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) 2026, scheduled to hold from January 19 to 23 in Davos, Switzerland.
The initiative marks Nigeria’s first official National House on the Davos Promenade and is aimed at projecting the country’s economic reforms, investment readiness, institutional capacity, and cultural identity on the global stage.
According to a State House press release on Friday, Nigeria House Davos is designed to attract increased foreign direct investment (FDI), deepen strategic partnerships, and strengthen Nigeria’s global economic positioning in line with President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
The project is being implemented under a Public–Private Partnership (PPP) framework involving key ministries, including the Federal Ministries of Industry, Trade and Investment; Finance; and Foreign Affairs, in collaboration with the private sector.
Eviola & Co Integrated Services Ltd is serving as the lead coordinating and executing organisation, working in consortium with Lex-Con Advisory Services Ltd and UFAM Services Nigeria Ltd, alongside international technical and delivery partners.
Nigeria House Davos will function as a sovereign convening platform for ministerial engagements, high-level roundtables, policy dialogues, investment meetings, cultural diplomacy, and bilateral discussions. Its five-day programme will focus on strategic themes such as 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.
The Presidency noted that several countries and global corporations have long used Davos Houses as tools of economic diplomacy and soft power, adding that Nigeria’s entry into this space allows it to present its narrative directly to global decision-makers.
The Federal Government has called on public institutions, private sector players, development finance institutions, and international partners to participate actively in ensuring a coordinated and impactful Nigerian presence at Davos.
The statement described Nigeria House Davos as a reflection of the country’s “confidence, ambition, and readiness to engage the world,” projecting Nigeria as a reform-driven economy open to global partnership.
The announcement was signed by Abiodun Oladunjoye, Director of Information and Public Relations, State House, on January 9, 2026.
