BBIncubator is striving to position entrepreneurship as the cornerstone of development in Cameroon. The organization conducts various events and provides development programs for entrepreneurs.

Boris Bison Youth Empowerment Incubator (BBIncubator), a Cameroon-based incubator established in 2020, is committed to fostering an environment that enables emerging entrepreneurs to achieve their aspirations.

The incubator’s vision is to empower young Cameroonians aged between 18 and 35 to combat poverty and job scarcity by establishing successful businesses, according to its website.

Under the leadership of founder and CEO Boris N. Ngala, BBIncubator offers workspace, guidance, mentorship, and coaching to the innovative startups it identifies. The incubator’s objective is to empower businesses to generate consistent profits for the development of the Cameroonian community.

In 2023, BBIncubator launched its inaugural Tech Pitch competition, “Finance your Startup,” for young Cameroonian entrepreneurs. The competition allows entrepreneurs to present their technological ideas to a panel of judges, with the winner receiving startup financing of XAF1 million (approximately USD 1,600).

BBIncubator also initiates an incubation program every three months to mentor, train, and advise young entrepreneurs. The program offers insights into company operations and trains entrepreneurs in the use of the Internet and modern payment gateways.

Incubatees have access to BBIncubator’s computing equipment, cloud services, and broadband internet connection, as well as a laboratory for IoT (Internet of Things) and ICT (Information and Communication Technology) prototyping. The incubator also organizes networking events and conferences and provides entrepreneurs with access to seed capital.

Through its programs and activities, BBIncubator aims to assist new businesses in overcoming their daily challenges.
