Made in Nigeria Water Week Singapore 2026: A Global Showcase of Nigerian Water Solutions and Trade Potential

Singapore is set to host the Made in Nigeria Water Week 2026, a flagship international event celebrating Nigerian innovation, export readiness, and trade partnerships in the water sector. Scheduled across two strategic windows, 15th–18th June and 2nd–4th September 2026,  the Water Week will bring together policymakers, business leaders, investors, innovators, and trade partners to explore opportunities spanning water technology, infrastructure, sustainable solutions, and export promotion.

Anchored by the Made in Nigeria Project Office (MAINPRO), this multi-purpose series, featuring a Buy Nigeria Products Fair, Expo, Exhibition, and Economic Forum is designed to elevate Nigerian expertise, strengthen global linkages, and position the country as a trusted provider of water solutions and allied technologies.

Why Singapore? A Strategic Global Platform

Singapore is a global hub for water technology, urban sustainability, and trade facilitation. Ranked consistently at the forefront of water management innovation, the city-state provides:

• World-class infrastructure for water technology demonstrations

• Proximity to Asian markets hungry for clean technology partnerships

• A business-friendly environment for cross-border investment

• An influential platform for policy dialogue and international cooperation

Hosting Made in Nigeria Water Week in Singapore signals Nigeria’s intent to link its water sector aspirations with global value chains, particularly in areas of smart water systems, desalination, treatment technologies, and climate-smart solutions.

What to Expect During Water Week 2026

The event is structured around four major pillars:

1. Buy Nigeria Products Fair

A curated showcase of Made in Nigeria water products and solutions including:

• Water purification and filtration technologies

• Smart meters and IoT water management systems

• Pumps, valves, and pipe technologies

• Solar-powered and off-grid water solutions

• Wastewater treatment and recycling innovations

The fair will serve as a business marketplace where buyers and distributors from Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas can engage directly with Nigerian manufacturers and exporters.

2. Expo & Exhibition

The main exhibition will feature:

• Live demonstrations and tech showcases

• Start-up zones for innovator pitches

• Interactive sessions on climate resilience and sustainable water ecosystems

• Country pavilions highlighting Nigerian strengths in water tech, agriculture water efficiency, and industrial water solutions

This visual, hands-on format is designed to make Made in Nigeria water technology competitive, visible, and compelling on the global stage.

3. Economic Forum

A key component of the Water Week, the Economic Forum will drive high-level dialogue on:

• Trade and investment frameworks for water technology exports

• Partnership models for public-private collaboration

• Financing climate-resilient water infrastructure

• Strengthening Nigeria’s brand as a global water solutions exporter

• Integrating water security into broader economic and industrial policy

The forum will feature panels, expert keynotes, and bilateral business matchmaking sessions that advance commercial outcomes not just conversations.

4. Policy and Business Matchmaking

Designed to deepen engagement between:

• Government delegations

• Investment groups and sovereign funds

• Multinational corporations

• Regional trade bodies and water alliances

This pillar ensures that outcomes from Water Week translate into MoUs, partnerships, and signed agreements beyond the event itself.

Double Window Strategy: June and September 2026

Splitting the Water Week into two periods allows:

• Focused thematic deep dives in June (e.g., technology, solutions, and climate adaptation)

• Expanded commercial engagement in September (e.g., investment rounds, trade missions, and large-scale partnership signings)

This phased approach maximizes engagement across government, private sector, and international stakeholders.

The Bigger Picture: Water, Trade, and Nigeria’s Industrial Vision

The Made in Nigeria Water Week aligns with Nigeria’s broader agenda of:

• Diversifying exports beyond oil

• Promoting value-added manufacturing

• Building climate-resilient economic sectors

• Attracting quality foreign direct investment

• Enhancing Nigeria’s global brand and trade footprint

Water is both a critical public good and a robust trade sector. By elevating Nigerian water solutions globally, the initiative positions Nigeria not only as a producer of goods but as a partner in sustainable development.
