The room is coming together. 🇬🇧 🇳🇬 

On 10 September 2026, we bring Investors Connect London to Imperial College London — bringing together policymakers, investors, founders, business leaders, and changemakers from Nigeria, Africa, and the global diaspora for one important conversation:

How do we finance the sectors, skills and businesses that will shape the future of work?

I am especially honoured to welcome H.E. Hajiya Imaan Sulaiman-Ibrahim,  Honourable Minister of Women Affairs, Nigeria, who will deliver our Opening Keynote: “The Macro Picture” at 2:20pm.

Her perspective will help set the context for the conversations that follow — around inclusive growth, women's economic participation, innovation, investment and Nigeria's place in a rapidly changing global economy.

And what follows is a programme I am incredibly proud of.

From EdTech, GreenTech, FinTech and HealthTech…

to Sports, Creative Economy, Agritech and Sustainable Labour Mobility…

to the architecture of an investment-ready startup, global partnerships, governance and exit pathways.

This is not simply a conference.

It is a room for ideas to meet capital, partnerships to be formed, and opportunities to move from conversation to action.

I am grateful to every Guest of Honour, speaker, moderator, partner and collaborator who has chosen to be part of this journey.
