Laboratories form the backbone of scientific progress, healthcare, and education. Yet, in Nigeria, finding reliable laboratory equipment suppliers is often an uphill battle. Researchers, schools, hospitals, and industries frequently struggle to source genuine, high-quality tools at competitive prices. The SPAN Innovate 2025 Exhibition & Conference, taking place in Lagos on October 28–29, 2025, is set to change this narrative by providing a one-stop platform for sourcing, learning, and networking.
Why Sourcing Laboratory Equipment is Difficult in Nigeria
The reality is that Nigeria’s scientific community has been hindered by fragmented supply chains. Many institutions rely on international imports, which can take months to arrive and often come with additional costs such as customs duties and logistics. Another issue is counterfeit products. Without strict regulatory oversight, substandard laboratory tools often flood the market, leading to poor results and wasted resources.
Moreover, most buyers lack opportunities to see the products in action before purchase. This means they must rely on catalogs or word of mouth, which increases the risk of disappointment. The absence of a unified platform for comparing suppliers, technologies, and costs has left a gap in the market — a gap that SPAN is filling with this groundbreaking exhibition.
Why SPAN Innovate 2025 is Different
The SPAN Innovate 2025 Exhibition & Conference is not just an event — it is a strategic marketplace for the scientific industry. By gathering credible local and international suppliers, the event ensures buyers have direct access to authentic products. Exhibitors will include manufacturers of laboratory instruments, diagnostic kits, healthcare technology, biotech products, and digital solutions for scientific applications.
A major highlight of the exhibition will be live demonstrations. Buyers will no longer need to rely solely on brochures; they can watch equipment being tested and compare results in real time. This allows for smarter purchasing decisions and builds trust between buyers and suppliers.
