Fidelity Bank Plc, one of Africa’s top financial institutions, will host the third edition of its flagship international trade event, Fidelity International Trade and Creative Connect (FITCC), in Atlanta, Georgia. The expo will take place from September 18 to 20, 2025, at the Omni Atlanta Hotel at Centennial Park.
To deepen global market access for Nigerian businesses, Fidelity Bank is partnering with Amplify Africa, the team behind AFRICON, the U.S.’s leading African diaspora business and culture summit. This strategic alliance aims to strengthen transatlantic trade and investment, especially within the diaspora community.
According to Dr. Nneka Onyeali-Ikpe, OON, Managing Director/CEO of Fidelity Bank:
“FITCC has grown beyond promoting Nigeria’s non-oil exports. It now showcases the vast potential of Nigerian enterprise on the global stage. We are excited to bring this experience to Atlanta and expand opportunities for local businesses worldwide.”
The previous editions in London and Houston created a combined deal pipeline of over $500 million, highlighting FITCC’s growing impact on international trade.
What to Expect at FITCC 2025
FITCC Atlanta 2025 will bring together over 100 Nigerian exporters, along with U.S. buyers, investors, policymakers, and diaspora business leaders. The expo will focus on high-impact sectors such as agriculture, consumer goods, energy transition minerals, fashion, beauty, and the creative economy.
Participants can look forward to:
Business exhibitions
B2B matchmaking
Policy dialogues
Diaspora investment panels
Skill-building workshops
These activities are designed to open new markets for Nigerian entrepreneurs and support ongoing efforts to boost U.S.–Nigeria trade under emerging bilateral frameworks.
Over 3,000 attendees are expected, including representatives from chambers of commerce, trade facilitation bodies, development finance institutions, and multinational corporations.
