About Ibom-LED Trade Festival
The Ibom-LED Trade Festival is a high-impact trade and enterprise exhibition designed to provide a vibrant platform for trade, capacity building, and networking. By harnessing the strength of our 2,000-member Ibom-LED Alumni Community, we are driving business growth and fostering strategic collaboration.
Our Story: From Fair to Festival
Building on the massive success of two editions of the Made-in-Akwa-Ibom Trade Fair, we have evolved. What started as a local showcase has grown into a high-impact festival that harnesses the strength of a 2,000-member Alumni Community.
Our previous editions didn’t just break records; they created opportunities:
