Fidelity Bank Plc has announced plans to host the third edition of its flagship international business expo, the Fidelity International Trade and Creative Connect (FITCC), in Atlanta, Georgia, United States, from September 18 to 20, 2025.
The event, which will take place at the Omni Atlanta Hotel at Centennial Park, is being organized in collaboration with Amplify Africa, the producers of AFRICON, a leading African diaspora business and cultural summit in the U.S. This strategic partnership aims to strengthen transatlantic trade ties and create greater market access opportunities for Nigerian businesses.
According to Dr. Nneka Onyeali-Ikpe, OON, Managing Director/CEO of Fidelity Bank Plc, “Since 2022 when we hosted the maiden edition, FITCC has evolved beyond a platform for promoting Nigeria’s non-oil exports to become a veritable showcase of the immense value Nigeria has to offer the global market.”
She added, “I am delighted that this year, we will be in the city of Atlanta, USA, continuing our commitment to developing platforms that promote economic growth, creativity, and sustainable trade both within Nigeria and internationally.”
FITCC 2025 is expected to bring together over 100 Nigerian exporters and more than 3,000 participants, including U.S. buyers, investors, policy makers, development finance institutions, and diaspora-led businesses. Key sectors to be featured include agriculture, consumer-packaged goods, energy transition minerals, fashion, beauty, and the creative economy.
The three-day event will offer business exhibitions, B2B matchmaking sessions, policy discussions, diaspora investment panels, and expert-led workshops focused on expanding Nigeria’s global market footprint.
Following the success of the previous editions in London and Houston, which generated a combined deal pipeline exceeding US\$500 million, FITCC Atlanta 2025 is expected to further cement Fidelity Bank’s role as a key facilitator of international trade and economic diplomacy.
FITCC also aligns with Nigerian government efforts to boost U.S.–Nigeria trade and investment relations under new and emerging bilateral frameworks.
