A Deal Room, Not a Conference
Nigeria has started its largest port build-out in a generation. This room brings port operators, financiers and project owners together in Lagos to finance new deep-sea ports, corridors and export gateways, with every meeting matched in advance.
BEFORE THE DAY
Every business is vetted and every investor mandate is collected in advance, so each meeting is matched to a real fit before you arrive.
AFTER THE DAY
Every deal is followed up at 30, 60 and 90 days, with Welcome2Africa support until it reaches closing.
Who Should Register
The Deal Room is by invitation only. Every registration is reviewed, and shortlisted participants receive a personal invitation. Investor mandates are collected in advance, meetings are matched before the day, and every deal is followed up for 90 days.
