42, The Network
Created in 2013 by Xavier Niel, a successful French serial entrepreneur, 42 has now become an international reference for students and companies. Since then, the best computer programming school in the world* has trained thousands of professionals, to help eliminate the shortage of digital talents while addressing economic and technological mutations, thanks to the quality of its unanimously recognized education.
Entirely free and open to all talents, regardless of diplomas, origin, gender and age, 42 is also an innovative social lab engaged in building the society of tomorrow, a community that we hope will be more inclusive, caring, and supportive. At the crossroads between digital, jobs, and diversity, 42 shares its innovative educational vision (peer learning), its know-how and its values (gratuity, accessibility, neutrality, etc.) to create a global innovation hub.
Without registration or tuition fees, the selection of students is solely based on talent and motivation.
