Partners

Partners

We do not operate alone. Each pillar exists thanks to a specific alliance: Platzi for training, INROADS for placement, CTN and Iluméxico for connectivity and energy. Each open hub exists thanks to a sponsor who covered that point.

Strategic partners

Bring technology, training, or employment networks. Core of the model.

  • Platzi

    Latin America's professional online education platform, the first Latin American startup admitted to Y Combinator (2014). Contributes the program's certified digital technical training through a scholarship-style discount scheme — the training that operates after the initial digital literacy phase.
