Introduction to MINE Fest
MINE Fest — Made In Nigeria Entrepreneurs Festival — is Nigeria’s foremost platform dedicated to celebrating innovation, empowering entrepreneurs, and promoting the growth of locally made products and services.
Hosted annually in Lagos, MINE Fest brings together thousands of entrepreneurs, investors, policymakers, and ecosystem leaders for two days of inspiration, connection, and collaboration. The festival features a dynamic blend of keynote sessions, panel discussions, product showcases, exhibitions, and networking experiences — all focused on catalyzing entrepreneurial innovation in Nigeria.
Powered by naijapreneur.com, the voice of entrepreneurship in Nigeria, MINE Fest is more than an event — it is a movement to transform Nigeria’s economy from consumption to production by spotlighting the ingenuity of Nigerian entrepreneurs and creators.
What Makes MINE Fest Different
Focused on Entrepreneurs First
While many events focus on policy or industry trends, MINE Fest puts the spotlight squarely on the entrepreneur — the dreamer, the builder, the risk-taker. We celebrate those who create value through products and services made in Nigeria.
Built for SMEs, Not Just Startups
We recognize that Nigeria’s economic backbone is its small and growing businesses — not just venture-backed startups. MINE Fest is uniquely designed to support the growth and visibility of SMEs across all sectors — fashion, food, manufacturing, tech, agriculture, wellness, and more.
Driven by Real Impact, Not Just Talk
Every session, exhibit, and partnership opportunity is curated to deliver actionable value — whether it’s in the form of investor introductions, media exposure, business tools, or direct sales from exhibiting.
Nationwide Reach with Global Vision
Though based in Lagos, MINE Fest welcomes participation from entrepreneurs across all six geopolitical zones of Nigeria. Through online broadcasts and digital coverage, our message of Made-in-Nigeria excellence reaches audiences globally.
A 360° Ecosystem Platform
MINE Fest connects every stakeholder in the entrepreneurial ecosystem — founders, funders, enablers, regulators, and media — creating a holistic environment where real progress can be made.
