The 9th edition of the Nigeria-EU Business Forum will hold on Tuesday, July 2, 2024 between 9am and 5pm (CEST) which means between 8am and 4pm (Nigerian/West African Time).
Focused on the theme "Investing In Jobs And A Sustainable Future", the events will physically take place at Abuja Continental Hotel located at 1, Ladi Kwali Street, Wuse Zone 4, Abuja, FCT.
While there's limited space for physical participation at the conference, anyone can participate virtually.
This is the first time that this event will be holding in Abuja Nigeria.
Why You Should Participate As A Nigerian
As explained by AfriPI, the Nigeria-EU Business Forum is "a platform for the European Union (EU) and Nigerian businesses to increase domestic investments, enhance access to the EU market, and build strategic partnerships". Concerning this year's edition, the European Union explains that "it provides a platform to engage and identify opportunities for business, trade and sustainable investment under the EU Global Gateway Strategy".
The EU Global Gateway Strategy is an investment drive to which the European Commission is devoting up to €300 billion between 2021 and 2027. Here's what the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen has to say about this investment program...
Most times, we suffer in our business or personal lives because of what we should know that we don't know. Therefore, trust that a participation at the 9th edition of the Nigeria-EU Business Forum has every likelihood of affording you an opportunity to learn first-hand about how the European Commission or the European Union is investing in African businesses. This way you can learn how to package your own business and access the available opportunities.
Don't believe that these things are reserved for some special people. Instead, you too can benefit from the opportunities available.
Everything about this program shows that the European Union is willing to invest in any business opportunity that promises sustainable outcomes. So, as you participate, put on your thinking cap and see how you can come up with revolutionary business ideas or packaging that they can fall for.
Nigerian agribusinesses are especially advised to pay attention. This is because one of the specific projects being considered is the EU Support for Agricultural Value Chain Development project (EU-VACE).
