INT International STEP Delegate Leadership Summit Now Holds in November

In a bid to avoid a scheduling conflict, the 2026 INT International STEP Delegate Leadership Summit, originally planned for October 26 to 30 in Abuja, has been moved to November 2 to 6. The Institute for National Transformation International, the organizer of the summit, stated that retaining the original date could have prevented key contributors from attending due to their participation in the World Investment Forum, which is organized by UNCTAD.

The organizers regretted the change, particularly to international stakeholders and delegates who had already made arrangements for the original dates. However, they emphasized that other aspects of the summit, including its format and focus on translating development frameworks into specific projects, would remain unchanged. The summit will take place at the Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Centre and is expected to feature plenary sessions, clinics, and project development sessions, followed by a 10-month mentorship program for participants.

The summit aims to focus on science, technology, and innovation-driven projects and their potential for development financing and implementation.
