The Promote <\/strong>is an event that takes place every year in Cameroon (Central Africa). Promote is an economic fair dedicated to companies, SMEs and entrepreneurship<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n This year was an excellent opportunity taken masterfully by the Italian Embassy to promote an economic forum within this important Central African event. The event was opened by the new Ambassador Scammacca del Murgo<\/strong><\/a> and the Minister of Economy, Planning and Land Management, Alamine OUsmane Mey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Other important guests included:<\/p>\n\n\n\n This year, thanks to the work of the Italian Embassy, more than thirty Italian companies were present in Yaound\u00e9, the capital of Cameroon, at this eighth edition of Promote, which was held on 21 February and ended on the 27th. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n At the Casa Italia, the space that hosted the tricolour presence, several companies from various sectors, in particular construction and architecture, agribusiness, health and medical industry, mechanics, renewable energy, oil & gas, as well as a representation of associations from the Cameroonian diaspora in Italy, took turns.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 'Italian excellence is an acquired reality all over the world, and also here in Cameroon'<\/em>, emphasises the Italian ambassador Filippo Scammacca del Murgo<\/strong><\/a> in his message presenting the Italian participation, which was promoted by the embassy in Yaound\u00e9 and the Ita-Ice Italian trade agency.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n The decor of the Krystal Hotel in Douala,<\/strong> first five-star hotel in the Cameroonian capital Douala, the renovation of the Hotel Franco and the almost complete construction of the Olemb\u00e9 Stadium<\/a><\/strong> are examples cited by the ambassador as 'very clear evidence of Italian quality and finesse'. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Italy, says Scammacca, \"can be an ideal win-win partner for Cameroon\".<\/em>. The 'doing together'<\/em> and the transfer of know-how<\/strong> are the elements that characterise Italian entrepreneurship worldwide; moreover, the Italian economy is also very much characterised by SMEs, \"could be very useful for a Emerging country like Cameroon<\/a>allowing an appropriate transfer of knowledge and technology'.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Another testimony of the positive link between Italy and Cameroon<\/strong>diaspora returned to Cameroon after studying in the<\/a> our country in a very dynamic way and contributing to the nation's development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Elisabetta Merlino, director of the Ita (Ice) office in Luanda (Angola)<\/strong>, responsible for Cameroon, emphasises the importance of the Promote event for both Italian and Cameroonian companies and for the entire Central African Economic Community (Cemac) area. \"The remarkable presence of Italian companies, despite the advent of the pandemic, demonstrates the great interest that the Cameroonian market represents for the Italian market<\/strong>\"he emphasised in his message to the participants.
