A growing economic powerhouse in Africa 

As Africa’s most populous nation – with over 220 million inhabitants and a rapidly expanding middle class – Nigeria is undergoing a transformation in which digitalisation, renewable energy, sustainable infrastructure, and healthcare play pivotal roles. At the same time, there is a growing emphasis on local production, food security, and the green transition. 

Nigeria’s strategic location in West Africa, combined with a gradual diversification away from oil dependency, is creating new opportunities for Swedish companies to contribute with expertise, technology, and future-ready solutions. Business Sweden is actively working to strengthen Sweden’s position as a long-term, trusted business partner in Nigeria and the wider region.
