The final selection consecrates the excellence of viable projects based on "Offline-First" technologies, functional without permanent internet connection. The first national prize goes to Juvis Anzia for the Intellibra device, a connected system for early breast cancer detection that materializes 4 years of research and development. The second distinction goes to Isaac Touza for the Ndemri platform, an agricultural optimization program that combines artificial intelligence with technical SMS analysis for soil analysis. To transform prototypes into industrial models generating employment, the top management of the operator, led by Dr. Patrick Benon, supports financial distinctions with an intensive 8-month incubation program within the Orange Digital Center structures.
The analysis of global financial endowments demonstrates the will to durably structure the starting capital of the winners. The direct budget envelope distributes subsidies of 8 million CFA francs for the winner, 4.5 million CFA francs for the second place, and 3.5 million CFA francs for the third position, occupied by the idea incubator Idem of Arolle Aguekeng. The promotion of female ownership materializes with a special prize of 3.5 million CFA francs awarded to Murielle Kombou Komga's Gaiacore project. By inserting national winners into an international competition circuit, the multinational offers local entrepreneurs the engineering and visibility channels necessary to export Cameroonian genius to the rest of the continent.
