Key Things To Know As FG Establishes Historic House Davos

The federal government has announced the establishment of Nigeria House Davos at the 56th Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) 2026, scheduled to hold from January 19 to 23 in Davos, Switzerland, marking Nigeria’s first official National House on the Davos Promenade.

The initiative represents a major step in Nigeria’s global economic engagement, providing a strategic national platform to showcase the country’s ongoing economic reforms, investment readiness, institutional capacity and cultural identity to global decision-makers.

According to the government, Nigeria House Davos is designed to strengthen foreign direct investment flows, deepen strategic partnerships and reposition Nigeria more strongly within the global economic system, in line with the administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

The project is being delivered through a public–private partnership framework involving key ministries, including the federal ministries 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.

The arrangement blends public-sector leadership with private-sector execution expertise to ensure a professional and credible national presence.

Nigeria House Davos will function as a sovereign convening space for ministerial engagements, high-level roundtables, policy dialogues, investment meetings, cultural diplomacy and strategic bilateral discussions throughout the WEF meeting.

Its programme will span five thematic days focusing on solid minerals and mining value chains, trade infrastructure and agriculture, climate investment, energy and environmental sustainability, digital trade and technology, the creative economy and cultural exports, as well as cross-sector convergence. Issues of finance, legislation, investment security and investor assurance will be embedded across all sessions.

For decades, countries and major global corporations have used national houses in Davos as tools of soft power, economic diplomacy and global influence.

With the launch of Nigeria House Davos, the country joins this league, creating a platform to present its story on its own terms and engage directly with global leaders, investors and policymakers.

The presidency has called for strategic participation by public institutions, the private sector, development finance institutions and international partners to ensure Nigeria’s debut presence on the Davos Promenade is unified, dignified and impactful.

The government says Nigeria House Davos reflects the country’s confidence, ambition and readiness to engage the world, while projecting a clear, credible and purpose-driven national narrative.
