Nigerian Exchange Group
The fourth exchange chapter of the AT50 Index: an invitation-only Market Open hosted by Nigerian Exchange Group, in one of Africa's most significant technology and capital-market ecosystems.
Attendance is by invitation.
The market
Following London, Johannesburg and Cairo, the AT50 Index comes to the Nigerian Exchange on 18 November 2026. The AT50 Lagos Market Open brings company leaders together with exchanges, regulators, institutional investors and Nigeria's investment banking community to examine the connection between private-company scale, long-term capital and public-market readiness.
Nigeria represents the largest national cohort in AT50, with 16 constituent companies. As Africa's leading private technology companies mature, governance, disclosure, institutional visibility, liquidity and public-market readiness increasingly matter alongside growth and private financing. The Lagos programme asks what comes after private-market scale.
Host exchange
Nigerian Exchange Group hosts the Market Open at Exchange House on Customs Street, Lagos. The Market Open & Institutional Dialogue runs from 08:45 to 12:45 WAT. It is convened by Indexa Exchange Group with Standard Bank as Lead Partner, opens with the Market Open Ceremony followed by an NGX welcome and regulatory address, and brings the exchange, the regulator, institutional investors and Nigeria's technology companies into the same room.
