Quick Story behind ILID
A movement that engages the innovative spirit and drive of young Cameroonians to produce sustainable and practical solutions for critical problems.
As STEM students, we've lived the struggles firsthand. Getting access to research articles and academic publications is a constant battle. Finding an internship that offers real practical experience? Almost impossible. And when we look around, the challenges in our infrastructure sector are everywhere—overcrowded cities, congested roads, unreliable electricity, and water shortages.
We quickly realized that there's a huge gap between what we can do and what we're allowed to do as students. We have the skills and the passion, but without decision-making power or opportunities, our potential remains untapped. Having explored design thinking in past innovation programs, we saw a way forward: we could use this powerful tool to inspire ourselves and mobilize other STEM students to take action.
So, we started assembling a team—other dedicated individuals who share our vision for change. That’s how the Innovation Lab for Infrastructure Development was born. We’re not just planning an event; we’re creating a platform where young minds can come together, think critically, and develop real solutions for Cameroon’s infrastructure problems.
We believe that every stakeholder involved benefits from this venture. ILID 2025 will not only empower students but also foster collaboration between different professions and strengthen the link between students and the private sector, ensuring that motivated young talent is recognized and utilized.
Through this initiative, we also hope to improve the involvement of National Professional Orders like ONIGC and ONAC in projects that enhance student skill development. ILID 2025 is more than an event—it’s a step toward a future where young innovators play an active role in shaping the infrastructure of their country.
