On Monday, November 17, 2025, in the PAD headquarters\u2019 conference room in Bonanjo, Director General Cyrus NGO\u2019O and INNOVENDI CEO Jo\u00ebl MONEFONG signed an agreement that officially launches the deployment of a next-generation 4G\/5G network and Smart Port solutions at the Port of Douala-Bonab\u00e9ri.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">An ambitious initiative that positions Cameroon\u2019s main port on an unprecedented technological trajectory in Central Africa.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>A Digital Infrastructure Designed for the Ports of the Future<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The partnership, fully financed by INNOVENDI and\/or its partners, includes the installation of a hybrid 4G\/5G architecture covering all port facilities, along with the integration of IoT systems, edge cloud services, advanced cybersecurity tools, and intelligent interfaces for operational management.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In practical terms, this transformation will enable the automation of key tasks, real-time cargo tracking, optimized traffic management, and a significant improvement in operational safety.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In return for the rights and access granted by the PAD, INNOVENDI will pay an entry fee, a fixed royalty, a variable royalty, and other contributions defined by port regulations\u2014an arrangement described as a \u201cwin-win\u201d by both parties.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>A Public-Private Partnership Born from a Spontaneous Proposal<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Originating from a spontaneous proposal reviewed by an ad hoc committee, this public-private partnership aligns fully with the PAD\u2019s modernization ambitions: upgrading Cameroon\u2019s primary port, improving operational performance, and reducing cargo dwell times\u2014often a major concern for shippers and logistics operators.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This technological leap will also enhance Douala-Bonab\u00e9ri\u2019s competitiveness amid the growing rivalry among ports in the Gulf of Guinea.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Significant Economic and Social Impacts Expected<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Beyond technological innovation, the project is poised to generate notable social and economic benefits. It includes the creation of direct and indirect jobs, the involvement of local SMEs, the training of young talents, and the transfer of technology to strengthen both the port\u2019s capabilities and the local maritime ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For logistics players, these changes herald a port that is more fluid, secure, and better connected. In the long run, the modernization could reposition Douala as a key technological and logistics hub in Central Africa.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>A Port Steadily Advancing Toward International Standards<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With the signing of this agreement, the Port Authority of Douala reaffirms its ambition to join the select group of Smart Ports worldwide. The management has made its objectives clear: to make Douala-Bonab\u00e9ri not only Cameroon\u2019s economic gateway but also a regional benchmark in port innovation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:
