Fidelity Bank launches FITCC Atlanta 2025 to boost Nigeria’s global trade

Leading African financial powerhouse, Fidelity Bank Plc, has announced the third edition of its flagship international trade and creative economy expo — the Fidelity International Trade and Creative Connect (FITCC) — set to take place from September 18 to 20, 2025, at the Omni Atlanta Hotel at Centennial Park in Georgia, USA.

In a bold step to deepen transatlantic business ties and expand Nigeria’s global trade footprint, Fidelity Bank is partnering with Amplify Africa, organizers of AFRICON, the foremost African diaspora business and cultural summit in the United States.

The strategic partnership aims to foster stronger diaspora linkages, encourage bilateral trade, and open new frontiers for African innovation, enterprise, and culture on the global stage.

“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,” said Dr. Nneka Onyeali-Ikpe, OON, Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of Fidelity Bank Plc.

“As part of our commitment to developing platforms that promote economic growth, creativity, and sustainable trade both within Nigeria and internationally, we are pleased to announce the third edition of FITCC. I am delighted that this year we will be in the city of Atlanta, USA.”

Building on the resounding successes of its previous editions in London and Houston — which collectively generated deal pipelines worth over US$500 million — FITCC Atlanta 2025 promises to be the most impactful yet. The event will host over 100 Nigerian exporters, as well as U.S. buyers, investors, policy stakeholders, and diaspora-led business leaders.

Attendees can expect a dynamic lineup of events including business exhibitions, B2B matchmaking sessions, policy roundtables, diaspora investment forums, and targeted workshops designed to enhance Nigeria’s global market integration and amplify the value of African creativity and innovation.

With an anticipated audience of over 3,000 participants, FITCC 2025 will also feature active participation from development finance institutions, chambers of commerce, trade facilitation bodies, and multinational corporations.

The event is closely aligned with ongoing efforts by both governments to scale up U.S.–Nigeria trade and investment partnerships under new bilateral economic frameworks.

Fidelity Bank Plc, consistently ranked among Nigeria’s top commercial banks, serves a customer base of over 9.1 million through its extensive digital platforms, 255 business offices across Nigeria, and its UK-based subsidiary, FidBank UK Limited.
