In this virtual entrepreneurs’ session, moderator Serge Durand‑Focam interviews Dr Jean‑Marie Biada, an economist and fiscal‑training expert, on several topics relevant to African businesses. Biada illustrates how artificial intelligence can streamline service‑oriented firms, using a Cameroonian telecom SME that could generate field reports in minutes with a ChatGPT‑like tool. He warns that AI adoption must respect local cultural habits and avoid overly complex interfaces. He then outlines a systematic approach to choosing commercial partners: documentary research, due‑diligence, expert accompaniment, strong first‑impression presentation, mastery of the dossier, and controlled negotiation tactics. The discussion moves to venture‑capital (risk‑investment) in the region, describing the typical four governance positions investors assume (vice‑president of the board, CEO, CFO, HR director), the reluctance of local promoters to cede control, and the short‑term focus of many investors that hampers long‑term turnaround of distressed firms. Finally, Biada revisits the historic policy of import substitution in Central African countries, explaining how local production of packaging, oil, and other goods replaced imports in the 1960s, and why modern export of surplus locally‑produced goods in foreign currency is essential to protect reserves. He calls for stronger state regulation to prevent mismatched payment terms that undermine the economy. The session ends with thanks to the expert and a reminder of the pan‑continental audience.
