Swiss Foundation, Ema Invest to organize investors forum 2015

The Monitoring Committee of the 9th Ema invest forum, which organized a business trip for Swiss and French investors in Cameroon from 24th to 27th September 2014, has just published its report.

In total, eight companies were present, ten Ministers attended, two Memoranda of Understanding was signed with Arborescence Capital and Novaday and a contract was reached with Optima Energies and finally an endowment of € 30,000 was made.

According to the Monitoring Committee, at the outset, 20 companies had wanted to participate in this trip. Among them were ACE Global Depository DMCC, Bleu Orchard, The Energy consulting Group, Swiss Mining, Cris-Tim Group, EFG bank SA, Diligent Investment & Trust SA, le groupe Eyssautier, Intertrade Dynamics SA, Pegase International, Scipion and Société Générale.. "They were unable to participate, and this for various reasons." This is one of the reasons that pushed us to extend this initiative.

"Before this trip, we would like to continue with this Monitoring Committee in organizing other trips to Cameroon Swiss investors, and also organize a forum in Yaoundé in 2015 to implement a true annual meeting. It would be a bridge between Switzerland and Cameroon.

Their recent business trip in Cameroon from 24th to 27th September 2014 coincided with the breakdown of protection on the Logone River Dam, in the extreme north of Cameroon.

Several villages have been inundated and 93 families affected. Swiss investors in prospecting in Cameroon and accompanied by the Ema Invest Foundation have therefore agreed to support the people who were affected by this. Thus, the company SGS has made a donation of €20,000 to support this initiative. The EMA Invest Foundation also wished to support by donating €10,000 towards the disaster.
