With Export Development Canada (EDC), an agency offering trade finance, export credit insurance, bonding services and other assurance willing to support the success of Canadian businesses in Nigeria, participation is beneficial for any entity interested in global expansion.

Canadian and Nigerian leaders will speak during the high-level Summit.

With some countries closing doors or making the doing of business difficult, Nigeria is open for business and this is the best opportunity to participate in one of the world's most profitable and proven new business frontiers. With the support of both Canadian and Nigerian governments, this is the best opportunity to participate in an exciting and groundbreaking initiative.
