In a move aimed at strengthening ties between Africa and its diaspora while expanding transatlantic business connections, Fidelity Bank is partnering with Amplify Africa, the organizers of AFRICON, a leading African diaspora business and culture summit in the U.S.

Since its launch in 2022, FITCC has grown from a platform focused on promoting Nigeria’s non-oil exports to a broader initiative connecting Nigerian businesses with international markets. According to Dr. Nneka Onyeali-Ikpe, OON, the Managing Director and CEO of Fidelity Bank Plc, the expo represents a key component of the bank’s ongoing commitment to economic development.

> “As part of our commitment to developing platforms that promote economic growth, creativity, and sustainable trade both within Nigeria and internationally, we are pleased to announce the third edition of FITCC,” said Dr. Onyeali-Ikpe. “Since 2022, the FITCC expo has been at the heart of driving global market access for local businesses, and I am delighted that this year we will be in the city of Atlanta, USA.”

Building on the momentum of its successful editions in London and Houston, which generated a combined deal pipeline of over US$500 million, FITCC Atlanta 2025 will feature more than 100 Nigerian exporters and draw participation from U.S. investors, buyers, policymakers, and members of the African diaspora business community.

Key sectors to be spotlighted at the event include agriculture, consumer-packaged goods, energy transition minerals, fashion, beauty, and the creative economy. The three-day expo will feature business exhibitions, B2B matchmaking, policy dialogues, diaspora investment panels, and specialized workshops focused on expanding Nigeria’s global market access.

The event is expected to host over 3,000 participants, including representatives from development finance institutions, multinational corporations, chambers of commerce, and trade facilitation agencies. It also aligns with ongoing U.S.–Nigeria trade and investment initiatives under emerging bilateral frameworks.
