Fidelity Bank Plc, a major financial institution, has announced intentions to organize the inaugural Fidelity International Trade and Creative Connect (FITCC) in an effort to give Nigerian companies a competitive edge in foreign markets.

The FITCC is slated to take place on Tuesday, November 15, and Wednesday, November 16, 2022 in London, United Kingdom, with the goal of promoting Nigeria’s non-oil exports and facilitating integrations to global supply-chain networks through partnerships, co-creation opportunities, and foreign direct investments. Leading companies, entrepreneurs, investors, and regulators from Nigeria, the UK, and the rest of Europe will be present. They work in the industries of goods, services, creative industries, fashion, and fintech.

In an interview with media, Fidelity Bank Plc’s managing director and CEO, Nneka Onyeali-Ikpe, said: “FITCC is the next step in a series of activities we organized over the years to promote exportation in Nigeria. As a Bank, we started out by investing heavily in growing local capacity and providing funding options for exporters.

“Over the years, we have remained committed to promoting non-oil exports from Nigeria, and through the FITCC, we are opening new opportunities in the international markets for Nigerian exporters and contributing positively to the growth of our economy. Leveraging this platform, we will connect local businesses to importers and investors in the United Kingdom and Europe.”

Besides product exhibitions, FITCC will feature keynotes/plenaries, syndicate rooms for closed-door engagements with industry leaders, deal/meeting rooms, art exhibitions, themed theatrical performances, networking cocktails and side fashion shows.

“Beyond our contributions in the non-oil export sector, the creative sector remains a key focus for us to help drive economic growth. Whether through music, art, tech, fashion or food, we are shifting the narrative in the global community and to help the sector, we would be showcasing the best brands in these sectors alongside our commodity exports.

“We, therefore, invite as many of them as can join us to come along to FITCC to explore partnership, expansion, market diversification and investment opportunities”, explained Onyeali-Ikpe.
