Dreams, Deals, and Dollars — Engineering Nigeria’s $1 Trillion Economy
Theme Narrative:
At a time when Nigeria stands at a crucial turning point, the question isn’t whether growth is possible; it’s how we make it purposeful, inclusive, and scalable. Catalysing Conversations 2025 will convene the key players shaping the country’s future, including founders, financiers, policymakers, and ecosystem builders. This summit is designed to spark action, not just ideas, centering on the tangible deals, policies, and innovations required to transition Nigeria into a $1 trillion economy. We are moving beyond buzzwords to ask bold questions: What will it take to unlock inclusive, long-term capital? Is the unicorn model still relevant, or is it time to redefine scale? How do successful individuals become multipliers for the broader economy? From keynote insights to curated dealmaking, this year’s convening will set the tone for a decade of purposeful growth.
​
This year’s theme challenges guests to move beyond inspiration toward real influence. We will spotlight the tools, relationships, capital, and mindset shifts required to transform Nigeria’s potential into a $1 trillion economy.
