On April 17, 2025, from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., Enovation Factory held its very first Demo & Graduation Day on its Yaoundé campus, marking the end of six months of support offered to the 8 startups in its S2 2024 cohort. A day punctuated by startup pitches, technology demonstrations, inspiring testimonials and exchanges between young companies, investors and partners from the local tech ecosystem.
The aim of the day? To offer startups a space to present their projects to a panel of investors, potential partners, representatives of major brands, and the local entrepreneurial ecosystem.
The Demo Day gave project leaders the opportunity to unveil their solutions, demonstrate how their products work, notably through concrete demonstrations of their applications, and arouse the interest of key players in innovation.
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, Director of Programs, presented a portrait of the outgoing cohort, highlighting the collective dynamic that drives 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 startups he supported.
Finally, Eric Ntonfo, CEO of Fiatope and the cohort's expert advisor, emphasized the decisive role of strategic support in the structuring and growth of entrepreneurial projects.
The highlight of the day was undoubtedly the pitch sequence, where the eight startups presented their solutions, their impact and their ambitions for growth. The highlight of the day ended with the presentation of symbolic certificates, attesting to the completion of their journey through our programs.
A surprise guest: we were honored to welcome Francis Ngannou, world heavyweight champion and entrepreneur from Cameroon, whose presence made a strong impression. Inspired by the energy of the startups, he was keen to address them to share a few words of encouragement and testify to his sincere interest in African innovation.
A cohort, a milestone and a promising future
