IFI2P is designed as a platform for dialogue and collaboration that connects the Port of Kribi, private investors seeking capital, and financial institutions with investment resources. The initiative aims to support the economic transformation of the region through sustainable and targeted financing mechanisms.
🌍 Expanding the financial ecosystem
In the wake of the launch ceremony, the PAK announced its intention to sign further partnership agreements with major financial partners, including commercial banks, investment funds, and development finance institutions. These efforts will strengthen the port’s position as a regional industrial and logistics hub.
IFI2P stands as a bold step toward a more integrated and investment-ready Kribi Industrial-Port Zone.
