OTTAWA, ON – As the global economic landscape shifts rapidly, robust and resilient bilateral partnerships are becoming ever more crucial for long-term prosperity. In line with this vision, the Nigeria–Canada Partnerships Trade and Investment Conference (NCPTIC 2025) is scheduled to take place from October 29th to 31st at the prestigious Fairmont Château Laurier in Ottawa, Ontario.

With the theme “Strengthening Bilateral Trade and Investment for Sustainable Economic Growth,” NCPTIC 2025 promises to be a landmark occasion for advancing strategic business alliances and reinforcing Government-to-Government cooperation between Nigeria and Canada.

Nigeria, Africa’s largest economy and a regional powerhouse, offers an expansive market with enormous potential. Canada, on the other hand, stands out for its advanced technological ecosystem, investment capacity, and stable business environment. This combination presents a fertile ground for win-win economic collaboration.

The existing synergy is already evident: in 2023, Nigeria became Canada’s largest bilateral merchandise trading partner in Africa, with trade volumes reaching $3.6 billion. Canada’s imports from Nigeria, valued at $3.0 billion, were largely fuelled by mineral oils, fuels, and cocoa. In turn, Canada exported goods worth $579.7 million to Nigeria, including cereals, fertilisers, and motor vehicles. Meanwhile, Nigerian direct investment in Canada has grown steadily, standing at $1.7 billion as of 2021.

Beyond trade statistics, the relationship thrives at a grassroots level. Canada is home to one of the most vibrant Nigerian diasporas in the world, with thousands of Nigerians excelling in sectors ranging from real estate and fintech to education and agriculture. From running successful bakeries in Calgary to leading ventures in the Toronto Stock Exchange and managing innovative tech startups in Vancouver, Nigerians in Canada are pivotal to the country’s entrepreneurial ecosystem.

NCPTIC 2025 is poised to build on these foundations by bringing together business leaders, investors, policymakers, and entrepreneurs for a focused, high-impact engagement. The agenda includes keynote speeches, sector-specific panel discussions, and B2B networking sessions geared toward real-world outcomes and investment deals.

Key sectors on the spotlight include energy, agriculture, ICT, infrastructure, manufacturing, and financial services. Discussions will go beyond theory, aiming to unlock actionable opportunities and address regulatory or logistical challenges that could hinder bilateral growth.

Set in the iconic Fairmont Château Laurier, one of Ottawa’s most esteemed venues, the conference will offer an environment conducive to deep strategic dialogue and productive deal-making.

For businesses seeking entry into African markets or Nigerian firms aspiring to access Canadian expertise, finance, and technology, NCPTIC 2025 is a not-to-miss opportunity.
