TL;DR

The Impact Investors Foundation (IIF) is hosting its 9th Annual Convening on Impact Investing in Lagos on November 25 and 26, 2026.

The event addresses the limited participation of domestic institutional investors including pension funds and banks in funding Nigerian businesses.

Intelligence

The forum will feature curated deal rooms to connect SMEs with investors and officially unveil the rebranded Nigerian Impact Economy Community.

By bringing pension funds and sovereign vehicles into direct contact with SMEs, this forum aims to establish concrete deal-structuring pathways by late 2026.

For Nigerian startup founders and SME operators, success at this event could unlock previously inaccessible local currency funding, reducing reliance on volatile foreign venture capital.

However, the immediate challenge remains whether regulators will ease investment restrictions on domestic pension assets to allow these allocations.
