In a landmark collaboration aimed at accelerating entrepreneurship and investment across the African continent, SeedPad Qatar, Global Chamber, and Menospace Limited have officially partnered with Dotmount Communications (https://DTComs.com), the convener and official organizer of the Global Entrepreneurship and Investment Summit (GEIS) Nigeria 2025), scheduled to take place on July 21st–22nd, 2025, at the International Conference Centre, Abuja.
Held under the theme “Unlocking Africa’s Economic Potential: Harnessing Entrepreneurship and Investment Opportunities,” the summit is set to become a high-impact platform connecting emerging startups with global investors, policymakers, government institutions, and international development agencies.
A central highlight of the event will be the Top 100 Nigerian Startups Pitch Challenge, where entrepreneurs from across the country will compete for a total prize pool of 100 million Naira. Beyond financial support, participants will have the opportunity to engage in exclusive business-to-business (B2B) meetings with angel investors and venture capitalists from Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and North America.
