Nigeria is set to unveil a new national platform aimed at accelerating innovation, attracting investment, and advancing the country’s ambition of becoming a $1tn economy by 2030.
The New Nigeria Festival, scheduled to debut at the Transcorp Hilton, Abuja, will bring together leaders from government, business, technology, finance, entrepreneurship, academia, and the global diaspora under the theme “Great Ideas, Bold Execution.”
According to the organisers in a statement on Thursday, the festival is designed to drive enterprise development, foster strategic partnerships, boost foreign direct investment, and position Nigeria as Africa’s leading innovation hub.
Speaking on the vision behind the initiative, Executive Producer and Project Coordinator Paul Peters described the festival as a platform that connects ideas with action and creates opportunities for sustainable growth.
He said, “The core objective of the festival is to promote enterprise development, accelerate innovation-driven growth, create jobs, boost foreign direct investment, and significantly catalyse Mr President’s vision of Nigeria achieving a trillion-dollar economy by 2030, while emerging as Africa’s leading innovation hub. Our mission is to build a trusted platform where transformative ideas meet bold execution.
