Through the IETSA Partner Spotlight Program, we give African learners access to internationally developed blockchain education through curated global partnerships, including PTGR AG, a Switzerland-based leader in blockchain education and Web3 innovation.
Switzerland is recognised as one of the world’s leading hubs for blockchain and digital asset development. Through this collaboration, we bring globally aligned knowledge and industry insight closer to African learners, helping them build strong, market-relevant foundations in Blockchain and Web3.
