PEEA 2026 : IAI-Cameroun academic excellence honoured in Paris
On June 27, 2026, in Paris, France, before an impressive assembly of scientific, cultural, and diplomatic figures, Brayan Yebga Miyogog — a former student of the African Institute of Computer Science of Cameroun (IAI-Cameroun) / Paul Biya Technological Excellence Center — was solemnly awarded the “African Student Excellence Prize” (PEEA) by the association of the same name, directed by Géraude Akakpo. This prestigious distinction recognizes his resilience, academic excellence, and ethical commitment to leadership with African impact on the international stage.
The accolade highlights the intrinsic value of this young man, well trained in software engineering at IAI-Cameroun, which is managed by Resident Representative Armand Claude Abanda, who also holds the UNESCO Chair for Central Africa on Access to ICT.
By winning the silver prize — which values resilience, commitment, and academic excellence among students from the African diaspora and the continent — IAI-Cameroun’s sustained expertise is crowned. The delighted awardee acknowledged that it is thanks to the qualities (rigour, discipline, taste for well-done work, perseverance) acquired at the Paul Biya Technological Excellence Center that he is a role model of success today. “On the big day, I will carry the colours of IAI. In my speech and exchanges, I will recall where I come from and the quality of the training I received there. It is a pride to represent the school before this audience,” expressed the young laureate. A true source of pride for IAI and its top management, who spare no effort to place on the job market young people endowed with proven competence.
It should be noted that a few weeks earlier, the AgriGuardian platform — of which Brayan Yebga Miyogog is one of the main bearers — won the “TechforTech Public Prize” of the Petit Poucet 2026 competition.
For the record, Mr. Miyogog is a trainer and junior architect in systems, networks, and cybersecurity based in Montpellier, France. This digital virtuoso combines advanced skills in computer science, digital security, and artificial intelligence.
