Cameroon and the European Union are intensifying efforts to bolster connections between their respective private sectors, aiming to foster greater economic collaboration. This initiative is being highlighted during the ongoing EU Business Week 2026, which is taking place alongside the 10th edition of the Salon Promote international trade fair.

The second iteration of EU Business Week officially commenced at the Yaoundé Congress Center. The event serves as a significant economic gathering organized by the European Union within the framework of the Salon Promote. Its opening ceremony was marked by the symbolic ribbon-cutting by Paul Tason, the Minister Delegate to the Minister of Economy, Planning, and Regional Development.

In attendance were key figures including Jean-Marc Châtaigner, the Ambassador and Head of the European Union Delegation to Cameroon, alongside ambassadors from EU member states and other influential partners. Their presence underscored the importance both sides place on strengthening bilateral trade and investment relationships. The event is scheduled to continue until June 19, offering a platform for Cameroonian and European businesses to explore opportunities and forge new partnerships.
