How it all began.

In early 2024, four visionary institutions recognized they could achieve more together. Within Galileo Global Education, the world's largest higher education network, they decided to create something new.

They shared their expertise in cognitive neuroscience, innovation design and management. Together, they formed Copernia — for you, whether you are a student, a professional or an organization seeking to transform education.

Founder & Director of Copernia

After 25 years as a CEO and CFO in international companies, I asked myself a fundamental question: what truly transforms our world? The answer was clear: education.

Education is facing unprecedented disruption. Within five years, 60% of the global workforce will need to be reskilled. By 2030, nearly 40% of key skills will have changed. But who will lead this transformation? Who will bridge the gap between technology and human learning for an education that transforms the world for the better?

That is why we created Copernia. Our first cohort begins in March 2026. If you are ready to shape how millions of people will learn tomorrow, join us. The future of education is not just about technology — it is about visionary leaders like you.
