California-Lagos Business and Investment Summit

Overview

The California-Lagos Business and Investment Summit is scheduled to take place on September 17 and 18, 2026, in Sacramento and San Francisco. Themed ‘Building the California-Nigeria Business Bridge,’ the summit aims to strengthen economic ties, trade, and investment between California and Lagos.

Key participants include California Governor Gavin Newsom and Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu. A primary focus of the event is the creative economy, with discussions centered on investment opportunities in music, film, and entertainment.

Mike Dada, President of the All Africa Music Awards (AFRIMA), is expected to address how to unlock the creative economy by establishing commercial frameworks and intellectual property protections. The goal is to enable African creators to retain value from their intellectual property while attracting the technology and capital required to scale businesses and connect to international markets.
