The Nigerian German Investment and Cultural Expo (NGICE) 2024 is set to open doors to a world of opportunities as Nigeria presents itself as an ‘Investors Paradise’ in Berlin, Germany.
The event, scheduled from August 20th to 25th at the Helmchen Event Location, is themed “Unlocking Nigeria’s Investment Potentials for Industrial Revolution,” with a sub-theme focusing on “Cultural Exports: Key Opportunities for Foreign Direct Investment.”
Organised by the Salute Nigeria Initiative, in collaboration with the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation and various federal ministries, NGICE aims to attract foreign direct investment and business partnerships, particularly from the Federal Republic of Germany.
According to a statement issued by the chairman, planning committee, Mike Okiro, the expo will feature a rich array of activities including presentations, exhibitions, panel discussions, and roundtable sessions on public-private partnerships, banking, and finance.
