Elevate University is a visionary initiative dedicated to establishing a world-class university in Côte d'Ivoire that addresses the education and employment challenges facing West Africa. It seeks to equip over 10,000 students with skills relevant to high-demand careers, particularly in software engineering, business & entrepreneurship, renewable energy & sustainability, healthcare technology, and AI & data science.

Why we are doing it: The current education system in West Africa is outdated, heavily theoretical, and fails to prepare graduates for the modern economy. With over 60% of graduates unemployed, particularly due to a lack of practical skills and innovation-focused programs, Elevate University aims to bridge this gap by offering industry-aligned, affordable, and accessible education that emphasizes hands-on learning, internships, startup incubation, and global certifications. By doing so, it seeks to reduce youth unemployment, empower entrepreneurs, and prepare graduates for the global digital economy.
