Sourcing science products in Nigeria has long been a pressing concern for researchers, laboratories, universities, and industries. The need for reliable laboratory equipment and scientific tools continues to grow as Nigeria develops in healthcare, education, and technology. Unfortunately, the market is often flooded with substandard or overpriced products, and buyers face challenges in finding trusted suppliers. To address these gaps, the Scientific Products Association of Nigeria (SPAN) has created a premier platform — the SPAN Innovate 2025 Exhibition & Conference, which will take place on October 28–29, 2025 at the Balmoral Convention Center, Sheraton Hotel, Ikeja.
This exhibition is more than just an event; it is a gathering point for innovators, manufacturers, researchers, and policymakers who want to redefine how science products are sourced, distributed, and utilized in Nigeria.
The Challenge of Sourcing Science Products in Nigeria
When institutions or businesses set out to buy laboratory equipment in Nigeria, they often encounter several roadblocks. One of the major issues is limited access to trusted suppliers. Many organizations rely heavily on imports, which not only increases costs but also leads to delays in project implementation. Additionally, the influx of counterfeit or substandard laboratory products has eroded trust in the supply chain.
Healthcare providers, for example, require high-quality diagnostic kits and hospital equipment to deliver effective patient care. Universities and research centers need reliable microscopes, testing kits, and consumables to produce accurate results in their labs. Industries require automation and biotech solutions to remain competitive. Without a central platform to connect buyers directly to credible suppliers, these sectors often face bottlenecks that affect growth and efficiency.
SPAN Innovate 2025: A Game-Changer for the Scientific Community
The SPAN Innovate 2025 Exhibition & Conference is designed to address these challenges head-on. As the largest scientific exhibition in Nigeria, it will bring together manufacturers, distributors, and innovators under one roof. Buyers will have the opportunity to see, test, and compare products ranging from laboratory instruments and diagnostic machines to biotechnology solutions and smart technologies.
Beyond just products, the event creates an ecosystem of collaboration. Attendees will benefit from keynote sessions by industry experts, panel discussions on innovation and sustainability, and empowerment workshops tailored to youth, women, and entrepreneurs. These sessions are not only informative but also provide a space to share challenges and identify collective solutions for Nigeria’s scientific and industrial ecosystem.
Why Buyers Should Attend
For buyers, SPAN Innovate 2025 provides unmatched opportunities. First, the variety of products available will be vast, covering medical, industrial, and academic needs. Second, the credibility of suppliers is assured, since exhibitors are vetted by SPAN to maintain international standards. Third, the platform offers buyers the chance to negotiate directly with decision-makers, cutting out middlemen and reducing costs.
Furthermore, attending buyers gain access to empowerment programs and workshops, which are not just sales pitches but educational sessions designed to build capacity in laboratory management, sustainable practices, and innovative applications of scientific tools. This makes the event not only a sourcing platform but also a knowledge-building hub.
