Institutional partnerships across four worlds.
Nayokan is designed for long-term institutional partnership. Below: the kinds of partners we work with, why organisations collaborate with us, and how to begin a conversation.
An operating system, not a project
Nayokan connects training, enterprise, capital and productive assets into one working system — not a series of one-off programmes.
Ecosystem alignment
Partnerships plug into our full stack — VTI, Startup Centre, VC and Hospitality — not just one division.
Institutional standards
Transparent governance, structured reporting, and honest content practices. No exaggeration, no invented figures.
Cameroon- rooted
Built in Yaoundé, for Cameroon and the CEMAC region — not imported wholesale from elsewhere.
Universities & research
Academic and research institutions collaborating on commercialization pathways.
Research commercialization with the Startup Centre, student innovation, and a shared framework for IP and revenue in resulting ventures.
Ministries & public sector
Ministries and public bodies supporting productive-sector development.
Vocational standards and recognition for VTI programmes, enterprise policy, and alignment with national skills priorities.
Development partners
Development finance institutions, foundations and multilaterals.
Programme co-design and funding across the four worlds, with reporting built on verified evidence.
Corporate & private sector
Corporates partnering on distribution, market access and co-investment.
Industry placements for VTI graduates, market access for cluster enterprises, and co-investment alongside Nayokan VC.
Four ways to
work with Nayokan.
Multi-year, multi-division collaboration.
Co-delivery of a specific programme or cohort.
Co-investment and follow-on capital arrangements.
Governance-level advisory relationships.
Begin a partnership
conversation.
The best partnerships begin with a short written brief — mandate, scope, and any constraints we should design around.
