Welcome2Africa International announces the EU-Nigeria Agri-Trade and Investment Summit, scheduled to take place from 6-7 September 2023 in Amsterdam, Netherlands
The summit serves as a crucial platform to foster and strengthen the agri-business relationship between the European Union member states and Nigeria. Over the years, the trade relationship between these two regions has significantly grown, with the trade volume between the two blocs reaching US$31.5bn in 2022. Currently, Nigeria is the EU's second-largest trading partner in Africa, and the EU is Nigeria's largest trading partner.
Besides providing a platform for key stakeholders to discuss the challenges and opportunities in the agri-business sector, the summit also facilitates networking and collaboration among agribusiness buyers and suppliers to strengthen business relationships. In addition, it will also serve as an opportunity to showcase the latest innovations and best practices in the sector as well as facilitate trade.
Activities and discussions at the summit will encourage investment and innovation through targeted incentives for EU-Nigeria Agri-trade partnerships. The programme also features a deal room where top investors and stakeholders will be facilitating US$10mn worth of investment commitments between EU and Nigeria agribusinesses, manufacturers, agro-commodity suppliers, off-takers, and others. Moreover, the summit also allows manufacturers and interested businesses to exhibit their machinery, products and businesses to more than 200 delegates, financiers, policymakers, trade experts and industry leaders.
Some of the top speakers at the event include Hans Bogaard, manager of Dutch Development Bank; Kasper Baumann partner at Clamodial AG; Keith Wallace, managing director of Hivos Impact Investment, Adaku Omidosu, innovation and partnership managers at Fairfoods, among others.
