New Nigeria Festival to Launch as Innovation Hub

The New Nigeria Festival (TNNF) is set to debut on March 15, 2026, at Transcorp Hilton in Abuja, with the theme "Great Ideas, Bold Execution." The festival aims to be Africa's premier platform for ideas, innovation, and economic transformation. It will convene influential leaders from government, business, technology, finance, entrepreneurship, and academia to explore practical solutions for Nigeria's economic potential, targeting a trillion-dollar economy by 2030.

The festival will promote enterprise development and accelerate innovation, creating jobs and boosting foreign direct investment (FDI). Key features include keynote addresses, policy dialogues, and a showcase of 100 youth-led ventures that will gain access to investors and mentorship.

The event will also facilitate business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-government (B2G) matchmaking to deploy partnerships across various sectors, including technology, energy, and agriculture. The festival is designed to connect innovative ideas with market opportunities, ensuring that Nigerian innovations translate into scalable enterprises with measurable economic impact.
