On Friday, 29 November 2024, the Nigerian Investment Promotion Commission (NIPC) joined leading French and Nigerian businessmen at the headquarters of the Movement of French Enterprises (MEDEF) in Paris for a Business Forum focused on deepening economic partnerships between the two countries.
The event, held as part of the state visit of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to France, provided a platform for dynamic discussions on opportunities to enhance trade, investment, and collaboration across key sectors. Organised by MEDEF International, the forum featured high-level participation from representatives of Nigeria's largest companies and their French counterparts, including captains of industry from agriculture, technology, energy, and infrastructure.
Key discussions explored avenues for collaboration in sustainable agriculture, innovative technology ecosystems, and energy diversification, focusing on renewable energy solutions and infrastructure modernisation. As part of its mandate to attract and facilitate investments, NIPC engaged directly with French business leaders at the forum.
The forum was key to achieving the strategic objectives of the state visit, reinforcing Nigeria's position as a preferred investment destination in Africa, with the Commission looking forward to sustaining the momentum from the discussions and translating these engagements into tangible economic outcomes for both countries.
