DOUALA, Cameroon — Cameroonian entrepreneurs, creators and innovators are showcasing locally made products in Douala as the “For Us by Us” exhibition opens on Friday, October 2.
The two-day exhibition, scheduled to run through Saturday, October 3, is designed to create a platform where local producers can present their products directly to consumers, investors, financial institutions and members of the Cameroonian diaspora.
The initiative goes beyond simply displaying products. Organisers say one of its longer-term objectives is to identify quality products made in Cameroon and create opportunities for them to reach markets outside the country, particularly through the Cameroonian diaspora.
Participating entrepreneurs are expected to demonstrate the quality of their products and, where applicable, provide the required certifications and legal documentation, especially for consumable goods.
The event, taking place at Krystal Palace in Douala, is also expected to encourage networking and business partnerships. Investors and members of the public will have an opportunity to interact directly with participating businesses and learn more about locally produced goods.
The exhibition reflects growing efforts to strengthen local entrepreneurship and create greater market opportunities for products made in Cameroon.
