The GROW Nigerian MSME Conference 2025 is gearing up to be one of the year’s most influential gatherings for entrepreneurs, policymakers, and investors. Designed to strengthen Nigeria’s micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs).
The event stated to take place between November 16th and 18th, 2025, at Federal Palace, Lagos, will spotlight how digital innovation, finance, and strategic partnerships can drive nationwide economic growth.
At a time when Nigerian MSMEs continue to face barriers such as limited access to finance, regulatory bottlenecks, and weak digital integration, GROW Nigerian offers a one-stop platform for solutions. Attendees will engage directly with institutions shaping policy on taxation, funding, trade, and export, creating rare access to decision-makers and financial enablers.
Why It Matters for MSMEs
GROW Nigerian isn’t just another business event – it’s a launchpad for growth and visibility. Entrepreneurs will learn how to:
- Access funding channels and government programs that are often hard to navigate.
- Apply digital strategies that help small businesses scale into regional and global markets.
- Build partnerships that can lead to contracts, supply deals, and distribution opportunities.
- Draw lessons from MSMEs that successfully transitioned into large enterprises.
With over 2,000 entrepreneurs in attendance last year, this edition promises deeper engagement, practical sessions, and deal facilitation that connects real businesses with investors and partners.
Key Opportunities at the Event
- Policy & Finance Dialogues: In-depth conversations on SME financing, tax reforms, trade access, and incentives for growth.
- Networking & Deal Rooms: Meet and collaborate with investors, lenders, buyers, and development partners ready to support MSME expansion.
- One-Stop Support Hub: A centralized space offering services from business registration and export facilitation to funding and advisory desks.
- Pitch Competition & Funding: Entrepreneurs with innovative or scalable ideas can compete for funding opportunities ranging from N1 million to N30 million, with top prizes of N10 million, N7.5 million, and N5 million, plus multiple consolation awards.
Who Should Attend:
Startup founders, small business owners, youth-led enterprises, innovators in agriculture, tech, manufacturing, and creative industries, as well as investors and ecosystem enablers.
For MSMEs ready to grow beyond boundaries, GROW Nigerian 2025 is not just a conference – it’s the connection point between ambition and opportunity.
