The Regional Incubator for West Africa (French: Incubateur Régional d'Afrique de l'Ouest) or IRAO is an African business incubator whose head office is located in Abidjan, the economic capital of Ivory Coast.

Aims

The IRAO is a member institution of the Network of Universities of Science and Technology of the Countries of Africa south of the Sahara (French: Réseau des Universités des Sciences et Technologies des pays d'Afrique au sud du Sahara (RUSTA)).[3][4]

Common to several universities in West Africa,[5] the IRAO's role is to facilitate immersion and professional integration of African students providing internships and various services to project business creation.[6]

The IRAO has also a foundation that distributes scholarships to students from Sub-Saharan Africa.[7][8][9]
