Exhibitors at the recently concluded Fidelity Nigeria International Trade & Creative Connect (FNITCC) in Atlanta, Georgia, have described the event as a groundbreaking platform that is helping Nigerian businesses shine on the global stage.
Thank you for visiting The Vestigator, don't forget to share!
The three-day event, held from September 18 to 20, 2025, was organized by Fidelity Bank Plc in partnership with AFRICON. It brought together export-ready Nigerian entrepreneurs from diverse industries—fashion, arts, manufacturing, technology, and more—creating a vibrant hub for business, networking, and cultural exchange.
FNITCC Atlanta 2025 was praised as the best edition yet, with larger crowds, improved exhibition setups, and deeper engagement. Many exhibitors called it “a step up” and “more impactful than ever before.”
“It was such an honor to stand alongside creatives, entrepreneurs, and cultural ambassadors from Nigeria. We gained new customers, built meaningful connections, and left with a renewed sense of purpose. Kudos to Fidelity Bank for championing Nigerian enterprise and connecting us with the world,” said By Nuga Designs.
For many participants, FNITCC was not just about sales but about community, resilience, and shared growth. One exhibitor recalled how a surprise buyer visit turned into a life-changing deal—even when she couldn’t be physically present—thanks to the support of fellow entrepreneurs.
“FNITCC reminded me that sometimes the connections matter more than the sales,” she said.
Expressions of gratitude poured in for Fidelity Bank and the organizing team:
“On behalf of FSGF Africa Ltd, I want to sincerely thank Fidelity Bank. Your professionalism, warmth, and commitment made this experience unforgettable,” one exhibitor shared.
The event also highlighted the growing influence of women-led businesses and the renewed confidence in “Made-in-Nigeria” products.
“Wow! Sisters online, making the impossible possible. This is the Africa we want to see. Nigerians are beginning to truly believe in our own products—and that’s powerful,” one participant remarked.
Reflecting on the success of the event, Dr. Nneka Onyeali-Ikpe, Managing Director/CEO of Fidelity Bank, reiterated the bank’s mission to grow Nigeria’s non-oil exports. With exports currently valued at under $5 billion annually, she emphasized the untapped potential.
“At Fidelity Bank, we believe global market access is a pathway to shared prosperity. FNITCC was born from that belief, and the results speak for themselves,” she said.
By showcasing Nigerian creativity, talent, and resilience in Atlanta, FNITCC 2025 proved that when local innovation meets international opportunity, the results can be extraordinary.
As Fidelity Bank continues to build platforms that amplify Nigerian businesses globally, the future of the country’s entrepreneurs looks brighter than ever.
