The rise of artificial intelligence in Cameroon

Cameroon is one of the most dynamic countries in Central Africa in terms of artificial intelligence (AI). Local startups are developing innovative AI solutions in areas as diverse as health, education and agriculture.

CamerIA: AI in the service of health

CamerIA is a Cameroonian startup that has developed an artificial intelligence platform capable of early detection of certain diseases based on medical image analysis. Thanks to cutting-edge machine learning algorithms, CamerIA can identify early signs of pathologies such as breast cancer or diabetes, thus enabling faster and more effective patient care.

“Our goal is to democratize access to quality healthcare, including in the most remote areas of Cameroon,” explains Juliette Nkengue, co-founder of CamerIA. “AI allows us to provide an affordable and reliable solution for the early detection of many diseases.”

AgriAI: AI at the service of agriculture

In the agricultural sector, the startup AgriAI has developed an AI solution capable of analyzing the state of crops in real time and identifying diseases or pests affecting plants. Farmers can thus take the necessary measures to protect their crops and optimize their production.

“Thanks to AI, our farmers can now monitor their fields much more accurately and responsively,” says Serge Mbida, CEO of AgriAI. “This translates into higher yields and significantly reduced losses.”

Game-changing mobile apps

Cameroon is also at the forefront of the development of innovative mobile applications, which transform the daily lives of citizens.

Yango: intelligent mobility

The Yango ride-sharing app has been a huge success in Cameroon, offering an affordable and convenient alternative to traditional public transport. Using cutting-edge geolocation technology, Yango connects drivers and passengers, helping to reduce traffic congestion and CO2 emissions in Cameroonian cities.

“Yango has really changed the way Cameroonians travel on a daily basis,” says Martine Ndjock, a regular user of the app. “It’s a reliable, safe and, above all, much faster service than traditional taxis.”

Mum's Market: online commerce accessible to all

The Mum's Market application allows Cameroonian women to easily sell their handicrafts online, opening up new economic opportunities. Thanks to an intuitive interface and simplified management tools, users can create their virtual store and reach a much wider customer base than in local markets.

“Mum’s Market has allowed me to develop my sewing business and generate additional income for my family,” says Joséphine Nkouatchet, one of the sellers on the platform. “It’s a real opportunity for women entrepreneurs in Cameroon.”

The Internet of Things, a revolution in progress

Cameroon is not lagging behind in the field of the Internet of Things (IoT), with the emergence of innovative solutions that improve the daily lives of citizens.

SmartCity: towards smarter cities

SmartCity startup develops IoT systems to optimize the management of urban infrastructure, from water and electricity distribution to waste collection. Thanks to connected sensors and a centralized data platform, authorities can make informed decisions to improve the efficiency of public services.

“IoT allows us to transform our cities into real smart ecosystems, more sustainable and resilient,” explains Serge Nana, CEO of SmartCity. “It is an essential lever to address the urban challenges facing Cameroon.”

FarmIoT: connected agriculture

In the agricultural sector, the startup FarmIoT has developed IoT solutions to help farmers optimize their production. Sensors installed in the fields measure key parameters such as soil moisture, temperature or sunshine in real time, allowing farmers to make informed decisions on irrigation, fertilization or crop protection.

“Thanks to IoT, our farmers can now monitor the status of their crops remotely and react more quickly to climatic hazards or phytosanitary problems,” emphasizes Fabrice Mbida, co-founder of FarmIoT. “This translates into higher yields and better product quality.”

Conclusion

Cameroon is a true laboratory of technological innovation, where talented entrepreneurs develop solutions that profoundly transform the lives of citizens. From artificial intelligence to the Internet of Things, including mobile applications, Cameroonian innovations prove that Central Africa is fertile ground for the emergence of cutting-edge technologies.
