The Federal Government has announced the establishment of Nigeria House Davos, securing the nation’s first sovereign venue on the iconic Davos Promenade during the upcoming World Economic Forum (WEF) Annual Meeting.
Scheduled for January 19–23, 2026, in Davos, Switzerland, the landmark initiative marks Nigeria’s official entry into the exclusive circle of nations that maintain dedicated national houses at the world’s foremost economic gathering.
The facility is designed to serve as a command centre for the nation’s diplomatic and economic engagement, projecting Nigeria’s narrative directly to global decision-makers.
According to a press release issued by the State House, Nigeria House Davos represents a “strategic national platform to project Nigeria’s economic reforms, investment readiness, institutional strength, and cultural identity.”
The initiative is a core component of the administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda, aimed at strengthening foreign direct investment (FDI) flows and deepening strategic international partnerships.
The establishment of the House is the result of a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) framework. Key ministries, including Industry, Trade & Investment; Finance; and Foreign Affairs, are collaborating with a private sector consortium. Eviola & Co Integrated Services Ltd has been appointed the Lead Coordinating and Executing Organisation, working alongside Lex-Con Advisory Services Ltd and UFAM Services Nigeria Ltd, as well as international technical partners.
“For decades, leading nations and global corporations have leveraged Davos Houses as instruments of soft power, economic diplomacy, and global influence. With Nigeria House Davos, Nigeria now enters this league, presenting its narrative from its own perspective”, the statement noted.
The five-day programme for the House is ambitiously structured around key thematic areas vital to Nigeria’s economic future: Solid Minerals and Mining Value Chains; Trade, Infrastructure and Agriculture; Climate Investment, Energy and Sustainability; Digital Trade and Technology; and the Creative Economy and Cultural Exports. Cross-cutting themes of finance, legislation, and investment security will underpin all discussions.
The facility will host high-level ministerial engagements, investor roundtables, policy dialogues, and cultural diplomacy events, offering a unified and professional interface for the global community.
The Presidency has called for strategic participation from public institutions, the private sector, and development finance institutions to ensure Nigeria’s debut on the Promenade is “unified, dignified, and impactful.”
