25 big tech names met our students in Silicon Valley
Learning Trips are said to stimulate emulation among students
What a change after just a few weeks! Self-confidence, motivation, commitment to academic and personal projects, entrepreneurship, and of course professional contacts…
Why ?
The Learning Trip organized by aivancity to Silicon Valley was an exciting and rewarding experience. Silicon Valley is the epicenter of tech, and this is precisely where our students went to meet some of the biggest names for guided tours, conferences and workshops.

Ilyes Mabrouk, aivancity student in Master of Science Data Management
My trip to San Francisco/Silicon Valley is coming to an end. It was a week rich in emotion, knowledge and innovation. I've been lucky enough to meet talented and motivating people with whom I've had very enlightening discussions on various topics related to AI and data. They all share the same goal: to drive innovation forward. First of all, I'd like to thank aivancity president Tawhid CHTIOUI and academic director Doreid Ammar for this opportunity, and Omnia Discovery and the French-American Chamber of Commerce in San Francisco, who made this incredible adventure possible.
