Introduction
Nigeria is stepping into a new era of global tech investment and innovation. Recent announcements demonstrate that the country is no longer just a growth opportunity. It’s actively shaping global tech capital flows and venture strategies. For international companies exploring new hubs, this signals a moment worth paying attention to, and for WABR Space, it means the time is now.
What’s happening?
- Ventures Platform, one of Africa’s most active early-stage investors, announced a US$64 million first close of its second fund (targeting US$75 million) with backing from institutions including International Finance Corporation (IFC), British International Investment (BII), and Nigeria’s government-led iDICE programme.

- The macro-economic outlook for Nigeria is improving: inflation easing, currency stabilising, growth prospects visible, setting a firmer platform for business and investment. Deloitte
Why this matters for international tech & business-services firms
- The fact that global capital (IFC, BII, family offices) and government funds are actively committing to Nigeria signals confidence and maturity in the ecosystem.
- The concentration of capital, especially around Lagos, means that infrastructure, talent, service providers, and support functions are clustering, reducing friction for new entrants.
- For remote work, tech support, outsourcing or regional hubs, this moment aligns perfectly: you get access to a large pool of English-speaking talent, cost advantages, and a growing ecosystem of investors and service providers.
How WABR Space fits into this story
At WABR Space, we believe in making entry friction-free. Given the above trends:
- If you’re a foreign tech firm looking for a Lagos base, WABR already delivers the workspace, high-speed fibre, logistics support and local address you need, you don’t start from scratch.
- If you’re building an outbound-support or remote operations team, our facility gives you the infrastructure and local ecosystem to scale with confidence.
- If you’re a Nigerian startup looking to upscale, the surge in capital means you can base your operations in WABR and tap into investor networks, mentorship and visibility.
- Our strategic location, fully-furnished offices and community of innovators put you in the heart of where investment flows and talent converge.
