Entrepreneurship Ecosystems and Innovation Hubs in Cameroon's Rural Context: An African Perspective

Entrepreneurship ecosystems and innovation hubs have gained significant attention in urban settings globally, but their potential impact on rural areas is less explored. The study employs a qualitative approach based on secondary data analysis and expert interviews from various stakeholders involved in rural development initiatives. The study concludes that while challenges exist, the potential benefits of entrepreneurship ecosystems and innovation hubs are substantial, particularly in stimulating local economic growth and improving access to technology. Given the identified needs, recommendations include securing adequate funding, fostering collaboration among government agencies, private sector entities, and civil society organizations for successful hub implementation.
