Nigeria is preparing to host a major event focused on the future of electric mobility, as the E-Mobility Conference and Expo 2025 (EVN Expo 2025) is set to take place in September.
Organised by Imaginarium Marketing Communications, the event will bring together stakeholders from across the electric vehicle (EV) and clean energy value chain to explore investment opportunities, share knowledge, and build momentum around e-mobility adoption.
Imaginarium is a marketing and communications company that works with Tier 1 clients across Nigeria and the continent. According to the organisers, the EVN Expo 2025 will serve as a platform for industry professionals, investors, policymakers, manufacturers, and end users to connect and collaborate as Nigeria positions itself within Africa’s clean energy transition.
Koye Abiola, Chief Executive Officer of Imaginarium and convener of EVN Expo 2025, described the event as a response to the perception gap around EVs in Nigeria. “The missing piece in Nigeria’s EV growth has never been technology, it’s been belief,” Abiola said. “EVN Expo 2025 bridges that gap by putting the experience directly into people’s hands. This is where policy meets perception, innovation meets aspiration, and awareness becomes action.”
The event is supported by a group of knowledge partners, including the Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI), GreenMax Capital Group, the Nigeria Energy Transition Office (NETO), the Nigeria Off-Grid Market Acceleration Programme (NOMAP), and The Bopfa Company. These partners are expected to bring strategic insight and expertise to the programme.
Boluwasope Ogboye, Technical and Event Lead for EVN Expo 2025, stressed the importance of stakeholder collaboration. “The 2060 targets set in our National Energy Transition Plan for electric vehicles integration cannot be achieved in a silo,” Ogboye noted. “It requires collaboration by all stakeholders, including manufacturers, investors, the government, donors and even customers.”
The organisers say EVN Expo 2025 will offer sponsors and exhibitors a space to engage policy influencers, demonstrate products and services, and reach corporate consumers interested in sustainable mobility solutions.
Koye Alaba, Director of Off-Grid Transaction Advisory at GreenMax Capital Group, also spoke on the significance of e-mobility in Africa. “The e-mobility revolution is underway in Africa, improving livelihoods and creating better-paying jobs for young people. At GreenMax Capital Group, we are dedicated to delivering financing solutions for African e-mobility startups to accelerate the adoption of EVs on the continent,” Alaba said.
