Context

ENIA 2.0 opened in Brazzaville on 7 October 2024, founded by young Congolese entrepreneurs, to address strong demand for AI training and a near-total absence of training spaces in the Republic of Congo.

Activities

The school operates from four buildings, offering technology licence degrees, a BTS in mechatronics, and AI/emerging-technology tracks, with capacity for 1,500 students. A parallel 'Bourse mon avenir' scholarship scheme has granted free three-year training to over 500 young Congolese, aiming for 1,000.

Results

As of its most recent public update the school had 410 students attending in person and via videoconference, and presented its second scholarship cohort in November 2025. Plans call for expansion to Pointe-Noire.
