IAI-Cameroun student wins PEEA 2026 silver award in Paris for academic excellence

It was before an impressive gathering of scientific, cultural, and diplomatic personalities that Brayan Yebga Miyogog, a former student of the African Institute of Computer Science of Cameroun (IAI-Cameroun) / Paul Biya Technological Centre of Excellence, solemnly received the “Prix d’Excellence de l’Étudiant Africain” (PEEA) from the association of the same name, led by Géraude Akakpo, on June 27, 2026 in Paris, France. This prestigious distinction rewards his resilience, academic excellence, and ethical commitment to leadership with impact for Africa internationally.
This international recognition highlights the intrinsic value of this young man, well trained in software engineering at IAI-Cameroun, managed by Resident Representative Armand Claude Abanda, who also holds the UNESCO Chair in Central Africa for Access to ICT.
By winning the Silver Prize, which celebrates resilience, commitment, and academic excellence among students from the African diaspora and the continent, the sustained expertise of IAI-Cameroun is crowned. The happy awardee acknowledged that it is thanks to the qualities (rigor, discipline, taste for well-done work, perseverance) acquired at the Paul Biya Technological Centre of Excellence that he is a model of success today. “On the big day, I will wear the colours of IAI. In my speech and exchanges, I will remind where I come from and the quality of the training I received from you. It is a pride to represent the school before this audience,” expressed the young laureate. This is a true pride for IAI and its top management, who spare no effort to place young people with proven skills on the job market.
It is worth noting that a few weeks earlier, the AgriGuardian platform, of which Brayan Yebga Miyogog is one of the main holders, won hands down the “Prix du Public TechforTech” 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 AI.
