APRI 2026 Young Talents Programme represents a transformative opportunity for the next generation of leaders, innovators and creative professionals in Cape Verde. In an ever-changing world, where adaptability and technology define a nation’s success, this programme stands as a cornerstone for developing the archipelago’s human capital, providing the necessary resources to enable young talent to turn bold ideas into projects that have a real impact on society and the local economy.

The initiative focuses on technical training and strategic mentoring. During the 2026 cycle, selected participants will have access to an immersive learning ecosystem, benefiting from partnerships with renowned experts and access to international knowledge networks. The primary objective is not merely academic training, but to build a solid bridge between emerging talent and the pressing needs of the Cape Verdean labour market, promoting social entrepreneurship and sustainable technological innovation.

As well as developing skills, the programme fosters a sense of community. We believe that talent flourishes where there is collaboration. That is why this year’s curriculum includes modules on leadership, project management and financial literacy, ensuring that every young person completes the programme with the practical tools needed to manage their own career path with autonomy and resilience. We invite all young Cape Verdean citizens who are looking to raise their profile and actively contribute to the development of our archipelago to submit their applications. Now is the time to turn aspirations into tangible results.
