About CBX
Cameroonian Private Sector Forum & Exhibition
Made in Cameroon, Traded to the World
The Concept
From March 25-29, 2026, Cameroon will host the 14th WTO Ministerial Conference (MC14) at the Palais des Congrès in Yaoundé. This is the first time an event of this scale has been held in Central Africa. More than 4,000 delegates from 166 countries will be present: ministers, ambassadors, commercial attachés, representatives of international organizations (AfDB, World Bank, Afreximbank, ITC, UNCTAD), plus 1,000 accredited VIP visitors and over 800 international journalists (Reuters, Bloomberg, BBC Africa, RFI, Jeune Afrique, Africa24).
The whole world is watching Cameroon. Will your company be there?
Une plateforme unique pour connecter l'Afrique au monde
Our Positioning
vs ICC Business Forum
Unlike the ICC forum reserved for large multinationals, CBX is 100% Cameroonian and accessible to local SMEs who want to connect to global trade.
vs IISD Hub
The IISD Hub focuses on NGOs and think tanks. CBX is an operational commercial space where companies sign contracts and find partners.
