The Nigerian Export Promotion Council (NEPC) in collaboration with the International Trade Centre (ITC), is set to host HerShowcase 2025 in Abuja, Nigeria, under the framework of the United Kingdom (UK) Government-funded SheTrades Commonwealth+ Programme.
This landmark event, themed “Trading Beyond Borders,” aims to support women-led businesses (WLBs) to increase their participation in international trade by facilitating networking opportunities with potential buyers and stakeholders, enhancing market exposure, and providing critical insights into business development.
The HerShowcase event brings together over 50 WLBs across the Agriculture, Textiles, and Beauty sectors to showcase their products and connect with potential buyers, including retail chains, supermarkets, and hotels.
The event also serves as a key platform for commemorating International Women’s Day 2025 which was celebrated on 8 March, by highlighting the achievements of female entrepreneurs in Nigeria and beyond.
As part of the International Women’s Day 2025 celebrations, HerShowcase will highlight the critical role of women in trade and economic development. The event will include special recognition for women leaders in business, discussions on policies that enhance female entrepreneurship, and sessions emphasizing the importance of gender-responsive trade policy.
