Break-even by FY2029
Revenue comes from program fees (the 2022 benchmark of $3,000 per certificate course after a 25% discount remains competitive against $8,000 international comparators), institutional and government cohort contracts, co-branding and licensing fees, conference registration and sponsorship, and grants. Partner revenue shares, platform licensing, instructor fees, and a small core staff dominate costs.
A working five-year pro forma will be built in Phase 0; the indicative assumption is a start-up investment of [PLACEHOLDER: $ amount] over 18 months, with break-even in FY2029.
Net revenue is reinvested in the institute, the Division, and a scholarship fund for learners from partner countries, in proportions set annually by the Steering Committee.
