We transform
strong
ideas
into
projects, and projects into
more viable
initiatives.
IDEA FSEG-UBe is a structuring tool led by the Faculty of Economics and Management of the University of Bertoua to strengthen graduate employability and university-territory links in East Cameroon.
Market studies, financial plans, mentoring and workshops to move forward with method.
Each stage combines practical tools, human support and field understanding to help projects evolve inside a credible and progressive framework.
"Make the University of Bertoua a reference pole for student innovation and entrepreneurship, serving local development."
Why the IDEA FSEG-UBe
incubator?
In a context marked by deep changes in higher education, rising employability expectations and the need for universities to contribute actively to territorial development, university entrepreneurship stands out as a strategic lever.
At the University of Bertoua, students hold strong theoretical skills but still lack structured spaces to transform their ideas into viable initiatives. IDEA FSEG-UBe addresses that gap through an innovative institutional support framework aligned with Law No. 2023/007 of July 25, 2023.
