This is a very big deal for Cameroon

Bloomberg, one of the most powerful financial media platforms on the planet just dropped its 2026 list of the Top 25 African Startups to Watch. Out of over 2,000 startups from across the continent, two Cameroonian startups made the cut.

Both built right here in Cameroon.

If you've been paying attention lately, you'd notice something is shifting in Cameroon.

Startups are sprouting everywhere, and more and more Cameroonians are waking up to the idea that they can solve the problems around them.
That hunger is real and foreign investors and global platforms are beginning to feel it too.
Moments like this just confirm what many of us already suspected.( the potential is there, now the desire is stirring up)

Speaking to 53+ secondary school students on Navigating AI and Social Media Responsibly at Cameroon was a privilege.

Data Girl Tech tackled something that matters deeply... the real cost of going viral, and what AI and social media truly mean for young people today.

These conversations can't wait. The earlier we reach them, the better.

Thank you Cameroon for the opportunity to impact the lives of these students.

Out of 54 African Nations, Nigeria Just Made one of the Boldest Moves in Tech Education, equipping 36000 of its youths with Tech Skills for free.

The Nigerian Federal Government has partnered with Coursera to launch the Digital Training Academy & they are training 36,000 Nigerian youths in global tech skills, completely FREE.

We are talking about highly sought after skills in fields like
Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Cybersecurity, Cloud Computing, Software Engineering...

And when you finish? You walk away with globally recognised certificates that employers across the globe in are actively looking for.

This is Nigeria's boldest attempt to tackle youth unemployment head-on, not with promises, but with real skills, real certificates, & real access to the global job market.

One trained youth changes their life. One trained youth changes their family.
36,000 trained youths? That transforms entire communities.

The agreement has been signed. The programme is real. The door is open.

Supported by NOUN & YABATECH to make sure no young Nigerian is left behind.

Do you think this will actually make a difference? Drop your thoughts below.

Built in Africa, solving one of the biggest problems on ground

BleagLee, a homegrown Cameroonian startup co-founded by Juveline Ngum, just won a $1 million grand prize (~558M FCFA) at the Milken-Motsepe Prize in AI & Manufacturing, beating 2,000+ entrepreneurs from 100 countries across 5 continents!

Here's all you need to know about BleagLee waste management 👇🏿

It started with a powerful idea, building a smart cooking system made entirely from recycled materials.

A smokeless cook stove crafted from scrap metal, clean cooking fuel produced in solar-powered bio-digesters from plastic & agricultural waste, and a digital platform for cooks to track & offset their carbon footprint.

The stoves are 80% cheaper than firewood, cook food 5x faster than traditional Cameroonian ovens, & even monitor indoor air quality using AI-powered sensors because indoor air pollution kills between 1.6 and 4 million people globally every year.

BleagLee also trains women in communities to source scrap metal and build the stoves themselves, turning users into makers.

Now?

Bleaglee has levelled up. Using patented AI that detects, collects and converts plastic, agricultural and e-waste into premium industrial products like engineered recycled polymers, 3D printing filaments, and bio-based carbon materials.

Their mission: (eliminate 300 million tons of CO₂-equivalent emissions by 2030.)

This is what we call using innovative technology to solve community problems ( Congratulations team BleagLee)

Some moments from the Design Thinking Workshop organized by Nervtek and ULEVUS

It was inspiring watching young university students sit together, identify real community problems, and use the design thinking process to build practical solutions around one of Cameroon’s biggest challenges, poor waste management.

If more youths across Cameroon cared enough to sit down like this, collaborate, and design solutions for the problems affecting their communities, In 10 years, our cities, systems, and communities could look completely different.

Real change begins when people stop waiting for solutions and start becoming part of them.

Big applause to the organizers, facilitators, and every student who participated. The ideas may have started in a workshop room, but their impact could go far beyond that.
