Nigeria will host the Investopia Africa Summit at Eko Atlantic City in Lagos in September 2025, marking the first time the summit will be held on the African continent.
Investopia, the premier global investment platform of the United Arab Emirates, is expanding into Africa as part of its efforts to unlock new investment opportunities across the region.
The announcement was made by the Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Dr. Jumoke Oduwole, who revealed that the Investopia Africa 2025 Summit will bring together thousands of participants and more than 100 speakers from over 20 countries.
The summit will focus on exploring investment opportunities in sectors such as energy, agriculture, fintech, artificial intelligence, and healthcare.
In addition, high-impact business matchmaking sessions will be organized to further strengthen Nigeria’s position as a key economic player in Africa.
Oduwole described the summit as a significant milestone for Nigeria, highlighting the country’s emergence as a global economic force due to the economic reforms implemented by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration and the improving business environment. She stated, “Hosting Investopia Africa 2025 in Nigeria reaffirms our transformation into a leading investment hub. Our reforms are creating a stable, transparent and high-growth economy. We look forward to welcoming investors from around the world to Nigeria.”
According to the minister, Nigeria is rapidly becoming a top destination for global investors, thanks to the bold economic reforms of the Tinubu administration. She also emphasized that holding the Investopia Africa 2025 Summit at Eko Atlantic City further solidifies Nigeria’s economic aspirations. “This visionary city, built on reclaimed land off the Atlantic coast in Victoria Island, is West Africa’s leading financial and commercial hub. It offers world-class infrastructure, a dynamic business ecosystem, and a strategic gateway for global investment,” she added.
Investopia, established in 2021 under the leadership of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum and UAE Minister of Economy Mr. Abdulla Bin Touq Al Marri, has quickly become a leading global investment platform. It facilitates high-level engagement between investors, business leaders, and policymakers to foster growth in emerging sectors.
Al Marri highlighted the importance of Africa as a key trade and investment partner for the UAE, noting, “Investopia’s expansion to the continent, which boasts some of the world’s fastest-growing markets, reflects our commitment to connecting investors with the opportunities they offer. Investopia Nigeria will create promising economic opportunities for both the UAE and the African private sector by also highlighting the UAE’s attractiveness for investments in new economic sectors, especially in energy, agriculture, fintech, artificial intelligence, and healthcare.”
