01From the Founder

“Seven years ago we started with a conviction and very little else: that technology, honestly applied, could improve the lives of the communities we come from.”

We carried that conviction from Atlanta to Douala, through a telecommunications licence negotiation that tested us for two years, and into farms, ministries and marketplaces. The conviction has never changed. What has changed is our understanding of how to honour it.

This year we completed a redesign of our company. We have concentrated our energy where connectivity, data and trade meet most powerfully: African agriculture. Our flagship, the UBTS Africa Agritech Digital Passport, has become a continental programme built on a scientific protocol that measures the quality of any agricultural product from the soil to the buyer. UBTS Trading Company turns that measured quality into a premium for the farmer. UBTS Academy trains the people the science needs. And we are launching from Côte d’Ivoire, our new francophone operational hub, before returning to Cameroon, where it all began.

“I ask you to read this summary not as a report, but as a charter — and to build it with us.”

Armand Gaetan NGUETIFounder & Chief Executive Officer, UBTS International Corp.Foreword to the Executive Summary, September 2026

02Who we are

Vision, mission and three strategic pillars.

Vision

Empower communities.

The purpose behind every programme, every country and every decision.

Mission

Improve people’s lives through the transformative power of technology.

Technology honestly applied, measured by what it changes in people’s lives.

1

Pillar 1

Communities Always First

Every programme and business model is judged first by the value it creates for the community it serves.

2

Pillar 2

Tech-Economics Programmes

UAP ↔ UAA-DP and UBTS Trading Company: measured quality, turned into premium trade.

3

Pillar 3

UBTS Academy

Training, internships and hiring with universities and vocational centres — the talent engine of the Group.

Values, method and decisions of record

03The master frame

We operate where communities and infrastructure meet.

Communities

Always first — beneficiaries and co-creators

Smart & tactical financing

Premiums, purchase-order finance, blended capital

Infrastructure

Connectivity, protocol and trusted data — paramount

In UAA-DP the community is the farmer and the cooperative; the infrastructure is the protocol and the data layer; and the financing is the premium and the purchase-order finance that measured quality unlocks.

04Our journey, 2019 to today

Twice we entered arenas with no incumbency — and built, with the State, something new.

  1. 2019

    Founded on 1 January in Atlanta; a Delaware C Corporation. UBTS Cameroon S.A. launched in May, incubated at ESCM PIGIER.

  2. 2019–21

    Negotiation with MINPOSTEL and the regulator ART; first-class telecommunications licence in 2021.

  3. 2022

    Technical launch of the Blockchain Association Cameroon in Douala.

  4. 2023

    Carrier-grade Wi-Fi at Digital Week Cameroon: over 10,000 active users with Wi-Fi 6 and OpenRoaming.

  5. 2024

    UAA-DP introduced with the Ministry of Agriculture and PROFALCAM; board strengthened with regional banking leadership.

  6. 2025

    Camtrade Pass MoU between partner PIPRA Cameroun and the Ministry of Commerce.

  7. 2026

    FAFE, ATRI–FUTPAC and PROFALCAM partnerships; Group redesign; Côte d’Ivoire hub.

What the journey gave us: a connectivity position earned in the field, working relationships with ministries and regulators, and a first agricultural traceability programme — the foundation of the redesign.

05The world that calls us

Africa’s infrastructure moment — and why we start with agriculture.

The leapfrog thesis

Build the next system, not the last one.

Distributed, digital-first and locally operated — as Africa did with mobile telephony and mobile money. The decisive layer is connectivity, energy and trusted data at the edge. UBTS was born there.

Our position

Regulation is a tailwind; science is the product.

National systems register producers and map farms. UBTS adds the measured quality — soil, crop health, laboratory results, custody — that premium buyers pay for, and closes the trade that pays the farmer for it.

Putting science behind every premium lot.

A continental programme that measures what is true about any agricultural product — from the soil to the buyer — and plugs into national traceability systems through open APIs. Launching from Côte d’Ivoire (IA-DP); Cameroon (CA-DP) follows the Ivorian launch.

08Building Block 5 · UBTS Trading Company

Ethical by structure. Intelligent by science.

  1. 01

    Measure

    The protocol measures the lot.

  2. 02

    Match

    A premium buyer is matched on measured attributes.

  3. 03

    Agree

    Baseline + premium; buyer sees the breakdown.

  4. 04

    Deliver

    Through a licensed exporter where required.

  5. 05

    Share

    Premium shared with the farmer, per transaction.

No title, no funds

UBTS never takes title to goods and never holds the buyer’s funds.

Never below the baseline

The producer never earns less than the baseline at delivery — the day’s market price, or the official farmgate price where administered.

Country by country

Every stream opens within its regulatory perimeter — free-market crops in Côte d’Ivoire first.

Architecture, revenue & financing

12Commitments we will not trade away

Trust is designed in, not added on.

The producer never earns less

than the baseline at delivery.

Every value names its source

Sensor, laboratory or agronomist, and when. Accredited laboratories certify food safety.

Honest carbon

We supply footprint data; we do not sell carbon claims we cannot stand behind.

No title, no funds

We never take title to goods or hold buyers’ funds.

Independent contributors

Paid for accepted work, never on the premium of a lot they attested.

Data with respect

Data shared after a transaction respects personal-data law.

We measure outcomes, never registrations.

13Build it with us

Let’s put science behind every premium lot — together.

The right conversation now is about the protocol, the launch sequence, and the evidence that will prove premium demand crop by crop. We welcome governments and regulators, premium buyers, academic partners, investors and communities.
