The NIDO Canada World Conference provides a framework for fostering bilateral dialogue and cooperation between Nigeria and Canada with regards to socioeconomic development in both countries. An initiative of NIDO Canada, the first conference, held in Toronto in April 2008, showcased Canadian and Nigerian speakers of international stature on various topics including infrastructure development education and nuclear energy – important initiatives that contribute tot the overall growth of a nation. The second conference, held in Winnipeg in May 2009, focused on energy, food and health security for both national and global prosperity.

The 3rd Annual NIDO Canada World Conference was held May 13-16th, 2010 in Ottawa at the prestigious Fairmont Chateau Laurier Hotel with the theme--Nigeria at 50: Building a Successful Public and Private Partnership in a Developing Economy.

This year the conference is returning to Toronto! It will be another great opportunity for Nigerian and Canadian businesses to network and showcase their product and services and take advantage of bilateral dialogue and cooperation between Nigerian and Canadian businesses looking for trade and investment opportunities in and from Nigeria.
