Silicon Mountain Conference

Silicon Mountain is a nickname coined to represent the Buea techosystem. It takes the Mountain acronym from Mount Fako which is highest point Mountain in West Africa. It currently incubates Africa's youngest tech startups and a growing community of developers and designers as well as the Universities such as the University of Buea, Catholic University Institute of Buea, Saint Monica University and many others. This region occupies the entire Fako(Victoria) Division of the South West Region inCameroon. It is centred on Buea together with nearby cities like Limbe, Mutengene, Kumba and others. The term originally was de facto referring to the Buea tech community popularized during local tech community meetups like the BarCamp Cameroon, Google Developer Group Buea (GDG Buea) and the Kamer Design Meetups; but has eventually come to refer to all tech startups, Tech communities, Universities, and the local hacker and creative community.
