Organised by the Lagos State Government through the Ministry of Commerce, Cooperatives, Trade and Investment, the summit aims to reinforce Lagos’ position as Africa’s leading destination for investment, trade, innovation, infrastructure development and economic partnerships.

The event will feature discussions on key themes, including Lagos as Africa’s Global Gateway, The Future of Technology and Innovation, Unlocking Investment, Building the Cities of the Future, Global Partnerships for Growth, Talent, Creativity and Culture, as well as Energy and Sustainability.

The summit is expected to attract government officials, business leaders, investors, development institutions and stakeholders from various sectors to explore opportunities in technology, infrastructure, manufacturing, finance, energy, urban development and the creative economy.

Speaking ahead of the event, Lagos State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Gbenga Omotoso, said the summit has been deliberately designed to go beyond discussions by focusing on practical outcomes capable of driving investment inflows into the state.

According to him, the platform will showcase Lagos State’s ongoing investments in transportation, technology, tourism, energy, manufacturing and urban development while highlighting opportunities available to both local and international investors.

“Invest Lagos 3.0 is more than a conference; it is a strategic platform designed to connect investors with opportunities, facilitate meaningful partnerships and showcase Lagos as Africa’s most attractive investment destination,” Omotoso said.

He added that the summit would provide a meeting point for government leaders, global investors, development institutions and corporate executives to identify opportunities that can stimulate economic growth, create jobs and support sustainable development.

Beyond panel discussions and keynote sessions, the summit will feature investment pitches by state governors, exhibitions by participating organisations, networking sessions, a gala dinner and guided visits to major industrial and infrastructure projects.

Participants are also expected to tour strategic investment destinations including the Dangote Petroleum Refinery, Lagos Free Zone, Lagos Port and the advanced manufacturing facility of russelsmithgroup.comp
