Miz@n Cameroon: Empowering Growth and Innovation
Miz@n Cameroon offers four key programs designed to foster growth and promote innovation in the business sector:
Miz@n B2C & B2B Platform
Explore the platform here. Our platform connects over 800 local businesses, including SMEs, large enterprises, and trade associations. We facilitate the promotion of their products—goods, services, and work. To date, the platform has published RFQs and RFPs totaling over 100 million FCFA and has helped sign contracts with more than 20 local companies. Miz@n Cameroon is actively collaborating with the AfCFTA Secretariat and is already integrated into tariff concession lists for the AfCFTA goods. The platform is also connected with mobile payment services like MTN, Orange, and Yoomee, and we are continuing to expand with integrations in logistics, customs, PAPSS (Afreximbank), and other free trade agreements (FTAs).
Miz@n Hub
Our Incubation and Innovation Center provides resources, mentorship, and training to help businesses grow and expand. For example, we hosted a Digital Inclusion Training for Women Entrepreneurs on April 12, 2023, with 63 out of 125 registered women participants, including women supported by the UNHCR and local organizations. Miz@n Hub also serves as a showroom for Miz@n B2C & B2B, encouraging collaboration and visibility for businesses.
Miz@n Villages
We are actively working on the Miz@n Villages project, dedicated spaces to promote rural entrepreneurship. These spaces aim to empower rural communities by providing them with the tools and opportunities to succeed in various sectors, including agriculture and technology.
Miz@n Cloud
In collaboration with specialized IT companies, we are working on developing cloud-based solutions to strengthen business operations and enhance scalability. These solutions will cater to businesses in need of secure and efficient infrastructure, furthering digital transformation in Cameroon.
