A unique global recognition that celebrates a bold vision of AI, at the intersection of technology, business, and ethics.
After earning Master’s accreditation for its Grande École program, aivancity School of AI & Data for Business & Society has reached a historic milestone in its development and international reach. At the Eduniversal World Convention, aivancity was awarded the 5 Palmes of Excellence, the highest level of distinction, as part of the 2025 Official Selection of “Schools of Excellence” in AI & IT.
This distinction is unique: aivancity is the only school in the world, out of more than 100 institutions selected from around the globe, to have earned 5 Palmes of Excellence in this new ranking dedicated to AI and information technology.
This places aivancity among the world’s leading academic institutions specializing in artificial intelligence, alongside the sector’s most influential names.
Far from taking a purely technical approach, aivancity holds a firm conviction: teaching artificial intelligence means teaching students to understand the world it is transforming. AI is not just another technology; it is a force that is reshaping work, knowledge, and decision-making. We therefore needed to create a school designed with this paradigm shift in mind, rather than simply adding it as an afterthought to existing curricula.
This international recognition confirms the relevance of a unique educational initiative, designed not merely to keep pace with the AI revolution, but to guide it, shape it, and make it both appealing and responsible.
It also reinforces aivancity’s ambition: to become a European and global leader in training leaders, experts, and“IA Engineers®”capable of designing useful, well-managed, and ethically governed technologies.

Founder and President of aivancity School of AI & Data for Business & Society
“aivancity was born from a simple yet demanding insight: artificial intelligence was going to transform the world long before the world was ready for it. From the very beginning, we chose to create a school entirely dedicated to AI, where artificial intelligence is not just another program but the very foundation of the academic project, conceived from the start as a fusion of technology, business, and social responsibility. At a time when AI was neither a buzzword nor a strategic reflex, we took a long-term view. This international distinction does not celebrate a one-off success; it recognizes consistency, a clear vision, and the ambition to create AI that is useful, governed, and deeply human.”
