The Cordros Wealth Summit 2026, held in Lagos, Nigeria, brought together over 500 participants including economists, business leaders, and policymakers. The event focused on redefining prosperity through non-monetary indicators such as social equity, environmental sustainability, and technological innovation.
Speakers emphasized the need for a broader understanding of wealth that includes access to education, healthcare, and digital infrastructure. One keynote speaker noted that traditional economic measures fail to capture the true well-being of a population. The summit also featured case studies from African countries that have successfully integrated non-financial factors into their development strategies.
The summit was organized by Cordros, a Nigerian think tank specializing in economic policy. It followed a series of regional forums aimed at addressing the challenges of economic diversification and sustainable growth. The event marked a shift in how Nigerian policymakers and business leaders view national prosperity, moving away from purely financial metrics toward a more holistic approach.
