On April 17, 2025, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., Enovation Factory hosted its very first Demo & Graduation Day at its campus in Yaoundé, marking the end of six months of support provided to the 8 startups in its S2 2024 cohort. The day was filled with startup pitches, tech demos, inspiring testimonials, and networking between young companies, investors, and partners of the local tech ecosystem.
The goal of the day? To give startups a platform to present their projects to a panel of investors, potential partners, major brand representatives, and the local entrepreneurial community.
The Demo Day allowed founders to unveil their solutions, demonstrate how their products work through hands-on app demonstrations, and spark the interest of key players in the innovation sector.
The ceremony opened with a series of inspiring speeches highlighting the richness of the Enovation Factory ecosystem.
Emmanuelle Baroux, General Manager of Enovation Factory, and Laurent Dalencour, Programs Director, presented an overview of the graduating cohort while emphasizing the collective energy driving the entire Enovation Factory community.
Ayuk Etta, CEO of Mountain Hub and Enovation Factory's first strategic partner, praised the ambition and remarkable progress of the supported startups.
Finally, Eric Ntonfo, CEO of Fiatope and lead expert for the cohort, highlighted the crucial role of strategic guidance in structuring and growing entrepreneurial projects.
The highlight of the day was undoubtedly the pitch session, where the eight startups presented their solutions, impact, and growth ambitions. This key moment concluded with the presentation of certificates, marking the completion of their journey through our programs.
Surprise guest: we had the honor of welcoming Francis Ngannou, heavyweight world champion and Cameroonian entrepreneur, whose presence left a lasting impression. Inspired by the energy of the startups, he took the time to share a few words of encouragement and show his genuine interest in African innovation.
One cohort, a milestone reached, and a promising future
