To discuss bilateral trade opportunities, Nigerian importers and Qatari exporters would hold a summit in Lagos.
The Qatar- Nigeria Business Matchmaking Event, organized by Qatar Development Bank (QDB), which would be held on second to third of March 2022 in Lagos aims to bring together Qatari and Nigerian enterprises to explore avenues for mutual growth and partnership opportunities.
The delegation headed by QDB will consist of Qatari manufacturers and services providers interested in meeting potential buyers, agents and distributors seeking to establish export and import partners from various sectors such as building materials and construction, health and pharmaceutical products, oil and gas products, plastic and paper packaging, and technology services including Fintech & ICT solutions.
The event will start with an open forum where Nigerian government representatives and leading private sector institutions will meet with their Qatari counterparts, which will be followed by several pre-arranged meetings for B2B networking opportunities, led by key players from sectors of interest in both countries.
Acting CEO of QDB, Mr. Abdulrahman Hesham Al-Sowaidi, said: “Taking into consideration the needs of Qatar’s diversified knowledge-based economy, we are constantly identifying partner nations to enhance economic and trade synergies. Our aim is to reinvigorate bilateral trade and facilitate dialogue between Qatar and Nigeria. All to contribute to the two nations’ economic development plans.”.
He added: “This matchmaking event is a great opportunity for private enterprises in the two countries, as our nations continue discussions to intensify and diversify collaboration between Qatari and Nigerian businesses. We are confident that this fruitful exchange will enable the participating companies to leverage the two countries’ pro-business climates and SMEs support ecosystems, in order to tap into new markets and achieve their next stage of growth.”
QDB’s year-round matchmaking events are one of many ways in which it furthers its role as a vital driver in advancing Qatar’s SME and innovation ecosystems, while contributing to the development of a sustainable, diversified, and competitive economy, with success-driven SMEs at its core.
