Nigeria Japan Chamber of Commerce (NIJACC) has reached agreement with NASENI to host an all holistic Nigeria Business Forum in Japan in June, 2026. This singular event is aimed at launching Nigeria back into the Japanese business architecture and consciousness with a view to attracting sizeable investments and business derivatives back to Nigeria after periods of low business activities between the two countries. 

NASENI is mandated to conduct research, develop and produce capital goods, industrial machinery, and scientific equipment, aimed for technology transfer and local industrialization in Nigeria. This core mandate of NASENI endeared it to the Nigeria Japan Chamber of Commerce to jointly attract expertise, technological know how and industrial acumen of well established and sought after Japanese companies and institutions which this Nigeria Business Forum seeks to achieve.

Why NASENI is the Key Catalyst NASENI stands at the forefront of Nigeria's home-grown technological evolution. Tasked with the development of capital goods, industrial machinery, and scientific equipment, the Agency is the engine room for local value addition.

  • Technology Transfer: Through this agreement, NIJACC and NASENI aim to facilitate the direct transfer of Japanese engineering excellence to Nigerian soil.
  • Infrastructure Growth: The focus is on moving Nigeria from a consumer nation to a producer nation by adopting Japanese "Monozukuri" (the art of making things).

Future Prospects: The June 2026 Forum in Japan The upcoming forum in Tokyo is designed to be more than a meeting; it is a matchmaking ecosystem.

  • Attracting FDI: We are targeting "sizeable investments" from Japanese conglomerates in sectors such as renewable energy, automotive engineering, and agri-tech.
  • Industrial Derivations: The forum will create a roadmap for Nigerian SMEs to integrate into Japanese global supply chains.
  • A "Holistic" Approach: Unlike previous years, this forum will provide a 360-degree view of Nigeria's investment climate, backed by the technical assurance of NASENI and the institutional support of the Chamber.

As we prepare to host the Nigerian business delegation in Japan, NIJACC remains committed to restoring the vibrant commercial link between our two nations. This collaboration with NASENI ensures that the investments we attract are backed by sound engineering infrastructure and a shared vision for a technologically advanced Nigeria.
