Starting a business in Conakry: when everyone does the same thing, nobody gets anywhere!

Entreprendre à Conakry : quand tout le monde fait pareil, personne n’avance !

In Guinea, entrepreneurship often goes in circles. In Conakry, as soon as an idea takes off, it becomes a fad. Someone opens a cybercafé? Within two months, every neighborhood has ten. Telecenters become a hit? You find them on every street corner. Motorcycle taxis and tricycles explode in popularity? The capital transforms into a rolling traffic jam.

The problem isn't imitation. It's copying without innovating, reproducing without improving, doing without understanding. Our entrepreneurship has turned into a giant photocopy: same ideas, same products, same mistakes, repeated endlessly.

While the number of businesses explodes, the market remains the same. Revenues are divided, and players are exhausted. The result: everyone is working, but no one is prospering.

This phenomenon doesn't just reflect a lack of creativity. It also reveals weak regulations and the absence of oversight from regulatory authorities. When anyone can set up shop without clear rules, quality, safety, and competitiveness suffer.

Yet, amidst this chaos, courageous entrepreneurs are trying to stand out: they innovate, structure, invest, and seek to do things differently. But these efforts are often stifled by an environment where improvisation is more visible than rigor, and where the loudest overshadows the brightest.

Entrepreneurship is not about imitating what works elsewhere. It's about thinking, adapting, improving, and building sustainably.

And without a framework, without support, without regulation, no economy can develop sustainably.
