City of Houston is now set for Fidelity International Trade and Creative Connect (FITCC) billed for 24th and 25th of October in Texas, United States of America.
The second edition of the international expo tagged FITCC Houston, will be held at the plush George R. Brown Convention Center, 1001 Avenida de las Americas.
Following the successful maiden edition that held last November in London with over $200million worth of deals closed, the bank is set for another edition of the globally rated expo. This year’s edition follows the tradition of promoting Nigeria’s non-oil exports as well as facilitating integrations to global supply-chain networks.
The trade expo had received a major boost by the Mayor, City of Houston, Sylvester Turner, who termed it, “A catalyst to support bilateral trade between Nigeria and Houston; and an opportunity for the Houston community and the diaspora to explore emerging trends, forge new partnerships and unlock new possibilities”.
