The upcoming Fidelity International Trade and Creative Connect (FITCC) second edition is scheduled to occur from October 24th to 25th, 2023, in Houston, Texas, USA.

After a highly successful debut event in London, which saw the closure of deals worth over $200 million, the bank is now gearing up for the next edition of this globally acclaimed expo. The 2023 edition continues the tradition of showcasing Nigeria’s non-oil exports and fostering connections with global supply chain networks.

Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, Fidelity Bank Plc, Nneka Onyeali-Ikpe talks up the motivation behind FITCC 2023

“Fidelity Bank is very much invested in supporting export trade and has consistently demonstrated this by the interventions and innovations that we bring to the space,” she said.

“Beyond the instrument of financing, some of our key interventions in the space revolve around business management capacity development with initiatives like the Export Management Programme (EMP) which we host in partnership with the Lagos Business School and the Nigerian Export Promotion Council (NEPC) and market access development initiatives like FITCC.”

During this two-day event, attendees will have the opportunity to explore exhibitions from top Nigerian businesses operating in various sectors, including commodities, agriculture, FINTECH, fashion, arts, and related fields. Additionally, multiple panel discussions will take place across different halls at the venue, where key figures from the business, regulatory, and investment sectors of both the US and Nigerian economies will engage in discussions about bilateral trade prospects.

The FITCC Houston event will conclude with a grand gala dinner on Wednesday, October 25, 2023, featuring acclaimed Nigerian hip-hop artist Kcee and other entertainers. Registration for this event is ongoing and can be done at the FITCC site.
