Imo State is on the cusp of a bold economic transformation, as all is set for the Imo Economic Summit, slated for December 4th to 5th, 2025, at the ultra-modern Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu International Conference Centre (EIICC), Owerri.

The event promises to be a landmark gathering of visionaries, global finance experts, local entrepreneurs, and policymakers, united by a single mission—to position Imo as Nigeria’s premier investment hub.

At the heart of this ambitious initiative lies a strong commitment to innovation, strategic partnerships, and long-term investments that will stimulate growth across critical sectors of the state’s economy.

To ensure a seamless and impactful summit, the Imo State Executive Council (EXCO), during its meeting on Wednesday at the Government House, Owerri, approved the establishment of a dedicated committee. This committee will collaborate closely with private sector organizers to deliver a world-class event that produces measurable outcomes, rather than mere rhetoric.

Over 13 commercial banks have already signed up to sponsor and participate in the summit.

Involvement of these financial giants serves as proof that the Imo Economic Summit is not another political showcase, but a credible platform for real investment and sustainable development.

Banks don’t commit to projects that lack clear implementation plans. Their participation is a strong signal that the Summit is rooted in practical strategies that will deliver results.”

From roads and power infrastructure to industrial revival and hospitality renewal, Imo State appears ready for its next economic leap. The upcoming Summit is expected to showcase these achievements while creating avenues for international investors to explore Imo’s abundant opportunities in agriculture, energy, manufacturing, real estate, and tourism.

With visionary leadership, growing investor confidence, and strategic partnerships, the Imo Economic Summit 2025 is not just an event _it is a roadmap to sustainable prosperity.
