The summit features a lineup of sessions focused on 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, and Energy and Sustainability.

Organised by the Lagos State government through the Ministry of Commerce, Cooperatives, Trade and Investment, the summit is de­signed to position Lagos as Africa’s premier destination for investment, trade, innovation, infrastructure development, and economic part­nerships.

The two-day summit, themed around unlocking investment opportunities and accelerating sustainable economic growth, will bring together high-level partici­pants from across the public and pri­vate sectors to explore opportunities in technology, infrastructure, ener­gy, manufacturing, finance, creative industries, and urban development.

Speaking ahead of the summit, the Head of the Media Subcommit­tee and Commissioner for Infor­mation and Strategy, Lagos State, Gbenga Omotoso, explained that the summit has been carefully struc­tured to move beyond conversations and focus on actionable outcomes that can stimulate investment in­flows into Lagos State.

Omotosi explained that the summit will provide a platform to showcase the state’s ongoing invest­ments in transportation, technology, energy, manufacturing, tourism, and urban development, while also highlighting opportunities for 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. Through this summit, we are bringing together government leaders, global inves­tors, development institutions, and business executives to explore op­portunities that will unlock growth, create jobs, and accelerate economic development across Lagos and Nige­ria,” he said.

The summit will also feature investment pitches by state gover­nors, exhibitions by participating organisations, networking opportu­nities, a gala dinner, and site visits to major infrastructure and industrial projects, including the Dangote Pe­troleum Refinery, Lagos Free Zone, Lagos Port, and RusselSmith’s ad­vanced manufacturing.
