Learn MoreGet Started

1. ENERGY & POWER

  • Market Opportunity: Cameroon faces growing electricity demand, with many rural areas still lacking access to reliable power. Renewable energy is highly needed.
  • Investment Opportunity: Finnish companies can invest in solar mini-grids, hydroelectric partnerships, wind energy projects, smart-grid technology, and energy storage solutions.

2. AGRICULTURE & AGRO-PROCESSING

  • Market Opportunity: Agriculture employs about 70% of Cameroonians, but productivity is low and much of the produce is exported raw. There’s strong demand for modern farming, processing, and storage.
  • Investment Opportunity: Finnish firms can supply mechanised farming equipment, precision agri-tech, cold chain logistics, and processing facilities (e.g., for cocoa, coffee, palm oil, fruits, and cassava).

3. DIGITALIZATION & ICT

  • Market Opportunity: Internet and mobile penetration are rising, yet digital services (e-commerce, mobile payments, e-government, cybersecurity) are still underdeveloped.
  • Investment Opportunity: Finnish companies can bring fintech platforms, secure digital infrastructure, e-learning solutions, cloud services, and mobile innovation hubs.

4. HEALTHCARE & MEDICAL SERVICES

  • Market Opportunity: Cameroon’s growing population needs better healthcare infrastructure, equipment, and digital health services. Private hospitals and clinics are expanding.
  • Investment Opportunity: Finnish companies can provide medical devices, telemedicine platforms, hospital management systems, training, and pharmaceuticals.

5. MANUFACTURING & INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION

  • Market Opportunity: Cameroon imports a large share of finished goods despite having raw materials. There’s demand for local processing and manufacturing.
  • Investment Opportunity: Finnish firms can establish joint ventures in packaging, construction materials, industrial machinery, and value-added manufacturing.

6. TOURISM & HOSPITALITY

  • Market Opportunity: Cameroon is called “Africa in Miniature” with diverse landscapes, wildlife, and cultures. Tourism is underexploited but has huge potential.
  • Investment Opportunity: Finnish companies can invest in eco-lodges, tour operations, digital booking platforms, hospitality training, and sustainable tourism infrastructure.
