On 10 May 2021 UNIDO ITPO Italy staff virtually met with the new Head of UNIDO ITPO Nigeria, Ms. Abimbola Olufore.

The virtual meeting represented an opportunity to recall several joint investment promotion and technology transfer activities carried out in 2015 and 2016 with regards to the leather sector, as well as the Nigerian project Farmcrowdy, winner of UNIDO ITPO Italy 2019 International Award "Innovative Ideas and Technologies in Agribusiness".

With an outlook to future cooperation, the meeting paved the way to develop further synergies between UNIDO ITPO Italy and UNIDO ITPO Nigeria for new collaborations in multiple areas of interest, namely agribusiness, decarbonization, and blue growth.
