The 6th edition in Lagos comes at a pivotal moment for Canada–Africa relations, as both regions deepen economic cooperation.

“Building on over three decades of convening excellence, the Chamber continues to serve as a privately funded, business-to-business platform advancing commercial partnerships aligned with Canada’s trade diversification strategy and Africa’s economic growth trajectory,” – Garreth Bloor, President of The Canada-Africa Chamber of Business.
“As a leading financial institution in Africa, Zenith Bank is proud to serve as Headline Sponsor of the 6th Canada–Africa Business Conference in Lagos. The Conference reflects the growing importance of financial linkages between Africa and Canada, including the vital role of the Nigerian diaspora in driving trade and investment.
Nigeria is a gateway for capital deployment across the continent, and we look forward to working with partners to accelerate trade and investment.” – Dame Dr. Adaora Umeoji, OON – Group Managing Director/CEO, Zenith Bank Plc
“Canada brings a unique combination of capital, credibility, and world-class expertise in sectors that matter most to Africa’s growth—from mining and infrastructure to financial services and clean technologies. For Nigeria, this Conference is about unlocking that partnership in a practical way.” – High Commission of Canada in Nigeria.
The Canada–Africa Chamber of Business has delivered high-level conferences across the continent, bringing together hundreds of delegates and facilitating meaningful commercial outcomes.
