The Nigerian-Indonesian Investment and Trade Forum (NIITF) 2025 offers a strategic platform to foster meaningful economic cooperation between Nigeria and Indonesia. Here’s why your participation is essential:

1. Strengthen Bilateral Trade & Investment
   NIITF provides a structured environment for government and private institutions from both nations to engage in direct, impactful dialogue—physically and virtually—aimed at increasing trade volumes, investment flows, and shared prosperity.

2. Attract Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) into Nigeria
   By connecting credible Nigerian enterprises with Indonesian investors and encouraging Indonesian businesses to explore the Nigerian market, NIITF promotes inbound and outbound investment. This effort is supported through our collaboration with the Nigerian Investment Promotion Commission (NIPC).

3. Showcase Nigeria’s Non-Oil Export Potential
   As part of Nigeria’s diversification drive, NIITF highlights the country’s growing non-oil export sector—ranging from agriculture and manufacturing to creative industries. This is made possible through our strategic partnership with the Nigerian Export Promotion Council (NEPC).

4. Address Policy Gaps & Promote Business-Friendly Reforms
   Through high-level Government-to-Government (G2G) engagements, NIITF provides a forum to address policy challenges and propose reforms that enhance the ease of doing business across both jurisdictions.

5. Facilitate Public-Private Partnerships (PPP)
   The forum fosters Government-to-business (G2B) and business-to-business (B2B) collaboration, enabling synergies between state-owned enterprises and private organizations to stimulate large-scale economic projects.

6. Enable Factory & Site Visits
   Participants will have the opportunity to tour Indonesian factories and industrial zones gaining practical insights into global best practices and enhancing prospects for joint ventures and technology transfer.

7. High-Level Networking & Cultural Exchange
   NIITF bridges communities, encourages trust, and dispels stereotypes by offering delegates from both nations genuine cultural and business interactions.

8. Promote Bilateral Tourism
   With over 17,000 islands, Indonesia offers vast tourism experiences. NIITF aims to encourage cross-border tourism from Nigeria while also promoting Nigeria’s own untapped tourist destinations to Indonesian travelers.

9. Boost Job Creation & Knowledge Transfer
   Through increased Indonesian investments in Nigeria, NIITF aims to contribute to employment, capacity building, GDP growth, and security through economic inclusion.

10. Build on Record-Breaking Trade Growth
    From $2.6 billion in 2021 to over $4.7 billion in 2023, Nigeria-Indonesia trade has seen phenomenal growth. NIITF 2025 is poised to expand this progress even further, targeting new milestones in 2025 and beyond.
