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

Aims

The IRAO is a business incubator and 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]
