Vision Statement: Embracing Opportunity – Inspiring Nigerian Entrepreneurs in the UK
The Nigerian Business Summit & Trade Fair is set to hold its inaugural edition at the Derby Arena, Derby, United Kingdom, on Friday, 25th April 2025, and Saturday, 26th April 2025. This highly anticipated event expects to attract over 1,500 attendees, bringing together a vibrant community of Nigerian entrepreneurs, professionals, and innovators.
Why the Summit Matters
Over the past four years, more than 33,000 Nigerians and 61,000 dependents have migrated to the UK, enriching the economy and contributing to sectors like healthcare, IT, engineering, and academia. However, many face challenges like saturated labor markets and limited career opportunities. This summit aims to address these challenges by fostering entrepreneurship and showcasing Nigerian talent.
Key Objectives of the Summit:
- Igniting Passion Through Inspirational Stories
- Successful Nigerian entrepreneurs in the UK will share their journeys, proving that success through entrepreneurship is achievable. Their stories aim to inspire attendees to explore innovative paths and persevere against challenges.
- Showcasing Rising Stars
- The trade fair will feature emerging Nigerian entrepreneurs and SMEs, providing a platform to exhibit their products and services. This is a unique opportunity for networking, cultural exchange, and exploring new markets.
