[Testimony of a candidate] "We're in the process of assembling our motor cultivator. It's a machine that will enable local people to easily plow their fields, directly with the sun. So there's no need for fuel."

[Testimony of another candidate] "I have to be at 100%, otherwise I'll get eaten up by the others."

10:00 am: arrival and installation of the jury of 10 experts

[Victor NOUMOUE, Deputy Managing Director Société Générale Cameroun] "We received a lot of dynamic people, a lot of innovative projects. And so we were very happy to discuss all these projects: many solutions proposed to meet the challenges facing Cameroon and sometimes the rural world."

[Abel EKOLO, Regional Manager ENEO] "It was a very enriching morning in terms of discovery, diversity... In fact, when I talk about diversity, it's as much about the products as the people. We had a lot of women who gave very fine presentations. When the winners are presented, we'll also have some surprises that I won't go into here."

[Christ Anderson AHOUA, Project Manager EDF Pulse Africa 2021] "Pleasantly surprised, I'd like to say, as usual, since in Cameroon we have this record of participation in EDF Pulse Africa. And the projects are numerous, but above all of high quality. Of course, there has to be a winner. We had the difficult task of electing the winner, and it was a really dynamic jury, because the projects were very, very interesting.

[Marlène BIESSY, Managing Director EDF Cameroun] "We were really keen to have good entries this year so that we could represent the flags of Cameroon in Paris on December 2 (two). So I'm really pleased with the candidates' work. We received seven candidates today. Seven candidates from different parts of Cameroon: the north, the northwest, Douala, Yaoundé, Bafoussam, etc."
