Babajide Sanwo-Olu has unveiled the 2026 Invest in Lagos Summit 3.0, the state’s flagship international investment platform, in partnership with the Commonwealth Enterprise and Investment Council (CWEIC). Scheduled for 9–10 June 2026, the summit aims to position Lagos as Africa’s leading hub for capital flows, trade integration, financial innovation, and infrastructure development.
Governor Sanwo-Olu said, “Lagos must not only attract capital but also structure it. The city must convert investment conversations into deployable pipelines. Invest Lagos 3.0 aligns directly with our T.H.E.M.E.S+ Development Agenda and Lagos State Development Plan 2052.”
The summit is expected to host 500–600 high-level delegates, including global institutional investors, sovereign wealth funds, development finance institutions, multinational corporations, and senior public sector leaders. It will focus on private sector investment, enterprise growth, value chain expansion, and fiscal sustainability.
Samantha Cohen praised Lagos as a key African business hub, highlighting that the summit will facilitate trade and bring international investors from 56 Commonwealth countries. Commissioner for Commerce, Folashade Bada-Ambrose added that the summit will produce measurable outcomes, including signed MoUs, investment commitments, and a post-summit tracking framework to ensure accountability.
The 2026 Invest in Lagos Summit 3.0 underscores Lagos State’s strategic effort to consolidate its position as a premier investment destination while accelerating economic growth and infrastructure development.
