Global investors, industry leaders, policymakers, investors, diplomats, financiers and innovators are putting in place plans to advance investment opportunities in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja and other emerging markets.
This step will be achieved during the 2025 Business Investment Expo focused on Emerging Markets, which will bring together over 500 global investors and high-level participants from 40 countries to deliberate on the critical importance of innovative and inclusive approaches to economic development.
According to the organisers, some of what these stakeholders would deliberate on come October 22 through to 25 in Abuja is insights on the critical importance of innovative and inclusive approaches to economic development.
Speaking about the Abuja Business Investment Expo, Maureen Tamuno, group managing director/Chief Executive Officer of Abuja Investment Company Limited (AICL), said the convergence of diverse perspectives will not only explore investment opportunities but also address the pressing challenges facing emerging markets, paving the way for practical solutions and actionable strategies.
Tamuno said this year’s theme, “Empowering Sustainable Growth: Unlocking Potential in Emerging Markets,” will highlight the critical importance of innovative and inclusive approaches to economic development.
She said the Expo is part of a broader vision of Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the FCT, to reposition Abuja as a global investment hub, foster sustainable urban development, and drive economic diversification through strategic partnerships and private sector engagement.
She further said the expo will also feature panel discussions, keynote speeches, business matchmaking sessions, stimulating debates and interactive networking opportunities that will make a lasting impression on attendees.
“The primary objectives of the investment summit include: showcasing the economic and investment potential in the FCT across various sectors; providing a forum for dialogue between policymakers, investors, and stakeholders to address challenges and opportunities in Abuja’s business environment”
“Facilitating collaborations between government agencies and private sector entities to drive innovation and economic growth; connecting local entrepreneurs with international businesses, investors, and development, as well as fostering a robust knowledge exchange platform that empowers stakeholders with insights into investment trends, regulatory frameworks, and market opportunities,” she added.
