[Annecy, France] – [2025,8,11] – EducDAO, a decentralized university committed to providing education for everyone, today announced it is joining the AI4Good² Global Poverty Challenge Coalition. The partnership unites EducDAO's mission of empowering learners globally through blockchain and AI with the AI4Good² coalition's goal of leveraging AI to lift micro-businesses out of extreme poverty.
EducDAO's model of a decentralized university provides a global and inclusive learning environment, bypassing traditional barriers to education. It uses blockchain and AI to offer a curriculum where students can choose what to learn and are rewarded for their efforts, creating a path to financial empowerment. This approach aligns directly with the core principles of AI4Good², which seeks to use technology for humanity to amplify skills, access, and scalability.
The AI4Good² coalition's mission is to unite corporations, social investors, governments, NGOs, and individuals to accelerate the elimination of extreme poverty. The coalition empowers micro-businesses at the "Bottom of the Pyramid" (BoP) by providing AI-powered training, capital, and access to global markets. By joining forces, EducDAO will contribute to the coalition's work by providing educational frameworks and skills development to these micro-business owners, ensuring they have the knowledge and tools to succeed.
"We are thrilled to partner with the AI4Good² Coalition," said Christophe Parot, founder at EducDAO. "Our shared belief that technology and decentralized innovation can create a more equitable world makes this a natural fit. By combining our educational model with AI4Good²'s powerful tools and global reach, we can help equip micro-entrepreneurs with the knowledge they need to transform their lives and communities."
"EducDAO's unique approach to education and its use of decentralized technology is exactly the kind of innovation we need to solve the Global Poverty Challenge," said Terry Janssen, a key contributor to the AI4Good² coalition. "This collaboration will strengthen our ability to provide essential training and support to micro-businesses, moving us closer to a future where poverty becomes a chapter in history."
