Nicolas Badré, Founder of Copernia and former COO of Galileo Global Education, joins host Monde Nkosi to explore how education must reinvent itself in the age of AI. He highlights that the accelerating pace of change in the job market demands radical innovation and adaptability in the education system - for both learners and institutions. Drawing on his experience leading operations at Galileo - one of the world’s largest higher education groups with over 300,000 students across 20 countries - Nicolas created Copernia, a new school dedicated to educational transformation. Born within Galileo and developed with partners including Macromedia University in Germany, emlyon Business School in France, European University Cyprus, and Noroff in Norway, Copernia’s flagship program - the Master of Innovation and Technology for Education - aims to prepare the next generation of education leaders. Nicolas explains how Copernia and Galileo are driving a radical shift: putting students, not institutions, at the centre, and creating personalised pathways for lifelong learning. He also reflects on his own journey - from more than 25 years in industrial leadership including as CFO of Nexans, the world’s second-largest cable manufacturer, to shaping the future of education.
