Make in Nigeria

THE OVERVIEW

The integration of technology in business, particularly in Agri-business, is revolutionizing food production, distribution, and consumption worldwide. This synergy, known as "Agri-Tech," is driving solutions for food security, sustainability, and efficiency. Beyond boosting productivity, technology is reshaping the entire agricultural value chain, creating wealth, and strengthening global economies.

Nigeria must take a central role in this transformation—not just in oil but across various industries, especially agriculture and tech-driven enterprises. Picture locally crafted fashion showcased in Paris, Nigerian software solutions competing globally, or our farmers exporting world-class produce.

Over the past decade, we have awarded grants to over 100 start-ups, tracking their growth and success. Our impact includes:

Converting 20% of business enthusiasts from our events into start-ups.
A 15% transition rate from start-ups to SMEs.
9% of retirees venturing into entrepreneurship.
40% of past exhibitors significantly increasing sales, expanding networks, and gaining new clients.
20% restructuring their businesses for sustainability and profitability.
5% successfully exporting products, services, and business ideas internationally.

At the heart of Make in Nigeria is a vision to propel Nigerian enterprises to global prominence through technology, innovation, and excellence. This year, our mission is to transform the Nigerian marketplace into a global hub for innovation, leadership, and integrity. Join us as we drive national and international progress.

OUR MODEL (THINK, MAKE, GROW)

Make in Nigeria is a project designed to create an environment that helps Nigerian businesses to do more and be more. This is in a bid to help the Nigerian economy and facilitate her infrastructural development. Our unique value proposition is locked in the TMG (Think Make Grow) model dispensed through our event (Make in Nigeria Exhibition and Conference) and our Community (MIN Community). We provide the resources needed for the Nigerian business community to THINK in terms of invention, innovation and design; MAKE in terms of Products and services and GROW in terms of funding/investment, partnerships and scaling to global levels. We believe every business must go through these phases to become successful and scale to a global level, that’s why we have thousands of people every year at our event and now in our community.
