We are very happy to announce that we have won the support of the World Innovation Summit for Education (WISE), a leading international initiative driving innovation and collaboration in education

Launched in 2014, the Accelerator Program is designed to support the development of young, innovative projects with high potential for scalability and positive impact in the field of education. Selected projects benefit from a yearlong mentorship program tailored to address their specific needs. The WISE Accelerator also serves as an intermediary to connect these projects with an international network that creates opportunities to share knowledge and find support from donors and investors.

Since its inauguration, the WISE Accelerator program has been dedicated to support education projects from different regions and sectors that are using or designing technology to address education challenges.

“It is a great honour. We are delighted to be selected by the WISE Initiative and very much look forward to an amazing year ahead. We share the global ambition and vision of WISE and cannot wait to work with its teams in order to help educators from all over the world to learn more and teach better.” said our founder Aldo de Pape in reaction to the great news.

The 2015-2016 cohort of five new projects will officially join the WISE Accelerator at the WISE Summit November 3-5, 2015 in Doha.

The Qatar Foundation, under the leadership of its Chairperson, Her Highness Sheikha Moza bint Nasser, established the World Innovation Summit for Education in 2009. WISE is an international, multi-sectoral platform for creative thinking, debate and purposeful action. WISE has established itself as a global reference in new approaches to education. As a testament to QF’s commitment to establishing a knowledge economy, WISE is promoting a range of on-going programs toward building the future of education through collaboration.
