Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has announced the launch of Invest Lagos 3.0, the state government’s flagship international investment platform for 2026.
The summit is scheduled to take place from June 9 to June 10 at Lagos House, Marina.
The initiative aims to accelerate structured capital mobilisation and expand cross-border trade, strengthening Lagos’ position as Africa’s leading sub-national gateway for investment inflows.
Sanwo-Olu stated that previous editions significantly enhanced the state’s global investment profile and facilitated structured engagements with investors.
This year’s edition elevates the platform into a more transaction-focused investment marketplace, according to the governor.
Lagos State has entered into a strategic partnership with the Commonwealth Enterprise and Investment Council to deepen global capital mobilisation and strengthen trade ties across Commonwealth countries.

Sanwo-Olu attributed growing global investor confidence in Lagos to the economic reforms of President Bola Tinubu.
He cited improved macroeconomic stability, increased foreign direct investment inflows, stronger foreign reserves, and easing inflationary pressures.
Invest Lagos 3.0 is designed as a transaction-driven platform to deliver measurable outcomes rather than a ceremonial event.
The 2025 edition, held under the theme “Scaling Action: Bold Solutions Towards Making Lagos a 21st Century Economy,” featured a Deal Room where commissioners pitched investment-ready projects directly to investors.
This year’s summit is expected to host at least 500 high-level delegates, including representatives of sovereign wealth funds and development finance institutions.
A key highlight will be advancing discussions around the proposed Lagos International Financial Centre, which has received presidential backing.
The summit will showcase projects across transport infrastructure, energy, logistics, digital economy, urban development, healthcare, housing, and industrial expansion.
Curated deal rooms are designed to lead to formal commitments and defined implementation pathways.
