Ambition
IKOUĒ Centers, a vision to fund.
We want to create spaces for innovation and learning that are accessible 24/7. Each center would bring together capable computers, high-speed internet and a continuous work environment, so young people can turn their ideas into concrete projects.
Container
An equipped, transportable module to fund, designed to be set up wherever it is needed.
Bus
A mobile workshop to build, designed to meet communities where they are.
To fund
This rollout is not a ready service yet. It is a vision to bring to life: test three prototypes, measure their impact, then repeat what works. Our goal is to mobilize CSR funding, government partnerships and support from international institutions to make this network possible.
Support the project Frequently asked questions
The questions we hear most.
Is the IKOUĒ Academy free?
Yes, for selected learners: the in-person training and access to the e-learning platform are free. Programs for businesses and institutions are a separate, paid, tailor-made offer.
Who can apply to the Academy?
The Academy is for motivated young Central African talent drawn to software development. Applying takes a few minutes through the online form.
How does the training work?
Each year a cohort learns by doing: a place to learn together every day, an online curriculum followed by mentors, a real product shipped for the market, soft skills and an English certification.
What do learners build during the training?
Every cohort designs and ships real products. The 2026 cohort, for instance, gave rise to Scolar.
What happens after the Academy?
The path connects skills to opportunities: an IKOUĒ certificate, access to international certifications, and introductions to market needs and the wider ecosystem.

IKOUĒ m'a permis de transformer ma passion pour le développement en compétences concrètes et en confiance pour l'avenir.
Demetrius Bangake
IKOUĒ m'a prouvé qu'on peut bâtir une carrière tech depuis Bangui. Promo 01, bien outillé et prêt à collaborer avec n'importe quelle équipe.
Arnaud Bayalé
La technologie est pour moi un levier puissant pour bâtir un avenir meilleur et ouvrir des opportunités à d'autres.
Jeanne Ongtiga
Après plus de deux ans de formation chez IKOUĒ, je repars avec bien plus que des compétences techniques en développement web et mobile. J'ai forgé un véritable mindset de battant. Aujourd'hui, je sais penser un projet, me motiver et surtout le réaliser de A à Z. Merci IKOUĒ pour cette transformation profonde, qui va bien au-delà du code.
