Nigerian manufacturers, exporters, technology companies, and creative enterprises have a unique opportunity to expand their global market presence through participation in the 5th Global Digital Trade Expo (GDTE) 2026, scheduled to be held from 23–27 September 2026 in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, People's Republic of China.
As China's only national-level international exhibition dedicated exclusively to digital trade, GDTE has become one of the world's premier platforms for connecting businesses with global buyers, investors, e-commerce platforms, and trade partners. For Nigerian companies producing export-ready goods and services, the Expo presents a strategic gateway into the Chinese market and broader international value chains.
About the Global Digital Trade Expo
The Global Digital Trade Expo (GDTE) is jointly hosted by the People's Government of Zhejiang Province and the Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China. The event is expected to attract more than 2,000 pre-registered professional buyers from over 30 countries, alongside government delegations, multinational companies, technology innovators, and trade organizations.
A key highlight of the 2026 edition will be the African Digital Trade Day, providing a dedicated platform for African businesses to showcase products, services, and investment opportunities to an international audience.
GDTE is also a flagship initiative under China's Silk Road E-Commerce programme, which has established cooperation frameworks with 36 countries and supported the development of more than 120 national pavilions worldwide.
Nigeria Pavilion: A Platform for Made-in-Nigeria Excellence
One of the unique features of GDTE is its "One Country, One Signature Product" National Pavilion model.
Rather than exhibiting within a generic trade hall, participating countries are provided with dedicated pavilion spaces where businesses can collectively promote their national brands and products.
A Nigeria Pavilion is currently being organized to showcase the country's growing manufacturing capacity, innovation, creative industries, and export potential under a unified national identity.
The pavilion will provide Nigerian businesses with an opportunity to present their products directly to serious buyers, distributors, investors, and e-commerce companies seeking new international suppliers.
The Nigeria Pavilion will prioritize export-ready businesses operating in sectors such as:
Agro-processing and packaged food products.
Textiles, garments, fashion, and creative industry products.
Manufacturing and light industrial products.
Digital technology and geospatial solutions.
Financial technology (FinTech) and digital services.
Consumer goods with strong export potential.
Other distinctive Made-in-Nigeria products suitable for international markets.
Companies with innovative, high-quality products that reflect Nigeria's manufacturing and creative strengths are encouraged to participate.

Participating companies will have the opportunity to:
Exhibit within the official Nigeria Pavilion.

Supporting Nigeria's Export and Industrialisation Agenda
