We don't train managers here.
We train the builders of ecosystems.
ADALIA is the online academy that trains and certifies the people who design, fund and steer Africa's entrepreneurial ecosystems — with the science, the data and the framework of a genuine observatory: OSE in Africa.
Entrepreneurial ecosystems are not improvised. They are built — with method.
A learning architecture, from day one to research.
Locate yourself at a glance. Four levels, one scientific framework — that of OSE. All online, all certifying.

Explore →ADALIA is a professional academy: it delivers certificates and labels, not state degrees. Its value lies in the scientific framework it teaches.
You learn on a real observatory.
No dated case studies. You work on the scientific framework and the living data of OSE in Africa.
The 5-layer framework, peer-reviewed and validated by an international scientific council, is the pedagogical foundation of every programme.
The Observatory is your classroom.
Learners map, diagnose and compare real ecosystems directly on OSE Expert — the living atlas, the country diagnostics, the network analyses.
For the people who build the ecosystem.
Do you fund or steer an ecosystem? ADALIA trains your teams.
Beyond individual paths, ADALIA designs tailored capacity-building solutions for UN agencies, development finance institutions, ministries and funders.
ADALIA closes the loop.
OSE observes, analyses and connects ecosystems. ADALIA trains the people who build them.

Scientific legitimacy, not a rubber stamp.
ADALIA is not a university. It is the academy of a scientific observatory — and for the people it trains, that is what matters.
ADALIA Institute, founded in 2014 and a pioneer of entrepreneurship-innovation in Morocco, is refounding itself today — refocused and 100% online — as the Academy of the Observatory, within the OSE in Africa group.
