Agricultural Innovation, Investment and Sustainable Growth took centre stage at the #FrenchWeek2026 Agri-Business Summit held on Wednesday, November 4, at @myaccessbank Headquarters, Lagos. Jointly organised by the Chamber and the France-Nigeria Agribusiness Club (FNABC) under the theme “France Nigeria: Driving Investments, Trade and Sustainable Growth,” the high-level summit convened business leaders, investors, research institutions, and government representatives from both nations to translate bilateral dialogue into concrete, long-term partnerships.

The event kicked off with a vibrant exhibition showcasing cutting-edge solutions across the agricultural value chain from organizations including African Quality Assurance Centre (AQAC), @ForthWorthFarms ,@JokunFarms , @SourcingP
, and @UniLaSalle_fr.

Opening remarks by FNCCI President @Gyom_Nrfx, Maxime Bieliaeff of @businessfrance , and Rachid BENLAFQUIH, Senior Agriculture Counsellor at the Embassy of @FranceInNigeria , set a collaborative tone for the day, emphasizing practical business opportunities between both economies.

The summit culminated in the signing of three strategic partnership agreements spanning crop protection, baking industry development, and professional agricultural training involving M2I, #TOPAN, the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security, @Lesaffre_Group , #AMBCN, PBAN, @JRFarmsGroup , and UniLaSalle. Special thanks to our host @myaccessbank , all participating exhibitors, and distinguished speakers for making this year's agribusiness summit a landmark success as we continue to advance Franco-Nigerian commercial ties.

What an inspiring day at the #FrenchWeek2026NG Tech Summit, jointly organized by the Chamber in partnership with @LaFrenchTech at the @AF_Lagos Française de Lagos / Mike Adenuga Centre.

Honored to have been in the presence of the French Consul General Laurent FAVIER, the Chamber's President @Gyom_Nrfx , and French Tech Lagos President Yann Gilbert as we explored this year's pivotal theme: "Reinforcing the Resilience of the Nigerian Startup Ecosystem."

The Consul General opened the summit with a powerful reminder that building lasting resilience requires targeted investments in skills, reliable digital infrastructure, and strong cross-border partnerships, reaffirming France’s commitment through initiatives like the #iDICE programme and proparco.

The energy peaked during the #AI and #Web3 Developer Challenge, where developers pitched incredible tech solutions for household savings.

Congratulations to the overall winner, David Chukwudi, who secured a return ticket to #France to attend VivaTech2027 courtesy of @airfrance plus ₦500,000 from the Chamber, and to the brilliant runners-up Noah Adeleye and Joseph, supported by a ₦500,000 and ₦300,000 courtesy of @ng_baobab !

As Laura Marie beautifully noted in her closing remarks, our priority now is to turn these connections into concrete partnerships. Thank you to all our sponsors for making this a reality.

Meet @TotalEnergiesNG , Premium sponsor of the French Week 2026 holding in Lagos from 30th October to 6th November 2026.

Headquartered in Paris, TotalEnergies has operated in Nigeria for more than 60 years. Today it employs more than 1,800 people, operates approximately 540 service stations nationwide, and produced 188,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day in the country in 2025. It also holds a 15 per cent interest in Nigeria LNG at Bonny Island. Its commitment is growing: after the Ubeta gas development with NNPC Limited, sanctioned in 2024 and targeting first gas in 2027, TotalEnergies took the final investment decision on the Ima gas field in September 2026 with partner AMNI. Ima will connect to Nigeria LNG by a 22-kilometre pipeline, and is expected to supply about one-third of the gas needed for the plant’s Train 7 expansion, which will lift capacity from 22 to 30 million tonnes per annum, with about 60 per cent of its development workforce expected to come from host communities. A French energy major investing for the long term in Nigerian gas, jobs and local capacity: TotalEnergies stands at the heart of the Franco-Nigerian partnership.
