The second edition of the Akieni Academy opened to an audience of young talent, partners and digital players. From the podium, Burotop Iris’ Managing Director delivered an unambiguous message: “Digital is not the future. It’s the present… and a responsibility.” A formula that sounds like a roadmap, and reminds us that digital transformation cannot be decreed, but rather built, class by class, line by line of code by line of code.
Through Burotop Iris and its Foundation, the company is reaffirming its commitment to the Akieni Academy, whose ambition is as clear as it is bold: to train 30,000 developers by 2030. It’s an ambitious goal, commensurate with the challenges facing a country that intends to take its rightful place in Africa’s digital economy. Beyond the numbers, this program is helping to reveal an entire generation, by offering them the skills, tools and confidence they need to turn their ideas into concrete projects.
For these young talents are not content merely to be trained: they are already building the digital Congo of tomorrow. By choosing to make a long-term commitment to Akieni Academy, Burotop Iris is affirming its vision that the future of the country lies in investing in its young people. It’s a conviction that goes beyond simple patronage to become a real bet on the intelligence and audacity of the Congo’s dynamic forces.
