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.

OPERATORS AND PROJECT OWNERS

Port, terminal and logistics operators choosing their next projects; project owners and free zones seeking capital and partners; government agencies and coastal states hosting new and upgraded ports.

FINANCIERS AND INVESTORS

Banks, development finance institutions and infrastructure investors looking at deep-sea ports, dry ports and corridors, vessel finance, cold chain, export logistics and port technology.
