Global Gateway is the European Union’s strategy to develop sustainable and trusted connections around the world. In Cameroon, it translates into major investments in quality infrastructure to accelerate the structural transformation of the economy: energy, digital, transport, health and agriculture.
Business Week is open to a wide professional audience: business leaders, local and international investors, bankable project promoters, financial institutions, sector experts, as well as public and diplomatic authorities.
Access to Business Week sessions and the EuroVillage is completely free, but online registration is mandatory. Simply visit the official platform www.cm-eu-businessweek.com to reserve your seat for the panels of your choice. Please note: in-person seats are limited.
The Call for Projects allows local entrepreneurs to submit initiatives in key sectors — energy, digital, agriculture and health — to be presented to leading financiers during the event through the Project Wall. Applications must be submitted directly on the web platform before June 5, 2026.
Once registered on our platform, you will have access to a dedicated matchmaking area.

A dedicated secretariat will also be available on site at the EuroVillage to guide you.
