TY - Type of reference TI - Socio-institutional and economic context and development of scientific entrepreneurship in Cameroon AU - Marcel Dama Dié AB - The objective of this paper is to identify factors that inhibit government efforts that contribute to the development of scientific entrepreneurship in Cameroon. The mobilization of documentary sources and the statistical data obtained from the National Institute for Statistics (INS) and certain ministries have made it possible to conclude that the objective of developing scientific entrepreneurship in Cameroon is inhibited by a combination of a difficult social, institutional, structural and economic environment. To reduce these obstacles, it is firstly suggested that the government update the existing Research Master Plan with the aim of identifying and circumscribing the priority areas of research for the development of the country, secondly to develop strategies aimed at popularizing the culture of science, technology and innovation among the population; thirdly, to set up an intermediation structure between research and the business world to promote the industrial and commercial promotion of scientific and technological results; and finally to increase the capacity of training and research institutions in educational and reception infrastructures.
