According to the organisers, the event is aimed at strengthening Lagos’ position as Africa’s leading destination for investment, trade, innovation, infrastructure development, and economic partnerships.
Participants will also examine opportunities in technology, infrastructure, energy, manufacturing, finance, creative industries, and urban development, with a focus on unlocking investments and accelerating sustainable economic growth.
Speaking ahead of the summit, Lagos State Commissioner for Information and Strategy and Head of the Media Subcommittee, Gbenga Omotoso, said the gathering had been deliberately structured to deliver tangible outcomes capable of driving increased investment inflows into the state.
“Invest Lagos 3.0 is more than a conference; it is a strategic platform designed to connect investors with opportunities, facilitate meaningful partnerships, and showcase Lagos as Africa’s most attractive investment destination,” Omotoso said.
