The ambition of Herimanana Rasolonirina, a second-year TEMA student, is to create a Madagascan social network and thus strengthen the connections between young people from Madagascar. Launched in March 2022, his platform BluePix now has more than 5,000 users. “It took a massive amount of work,” the 19-year-old said. Taking advantage of an immersive semester in the Reims Wild Code School, he applied what he learned about design, web language, marketing, accounting and more.

Herimanana Rasolonirina now plans to showcase the talent from the country with a system that pays young people for their passions in music and art, as content creators and podcasters. He also brought together people with a passion for IT and coding so they could think about technological innovations that would benefit his country and even the rest of the world. What ambition!
