About FITCC
WHAT IS FITCC?
Fidelity International Trade & Creative Connect (FITCC) is a global platform that facilitates the promotion of Nigeria’s value-added exports in the global marketplace and integrations to global supply-chain networks via partnerships and FDIs.
As the name suggests, the scope of coverage spans beyond commodity exports. The Platform will also promote and cater for Service Exports across the Creative, Fashion and Fintech Spaces.
FITCC will feature keynotes and plenaries, product exhibitions, sector specific syndicate/breakout sessions, deal/meeting rooms, media room for executive close up interviews, art exhibitions, themed theatrical performances, networking cocktails and side fashion shows.
The first FITCC will be held in London the United Kingdom because of its concentration of Africans in Diaspora (a captive market for Nigeria’s exports) and its proximity to the wider European market.
Subsequent editions will run annually (or every other year) in different countries that meet the commercial and strategic aspirations of our export play and Nigeria’s international trade footprints.
To moderate cost, it is necessary to explore synergies, partnerships and co-sponsorship opportunities.
Strategic Objectives
