We are excited to announce a strategic partnership between Univad and Cencori, designed to unlock new opportunities for builders, innovators, and student entrepreneurs across our growing ecosystem.
Univad's mission has always been to empower students and early-stage builders with the tools, knowledge, and community they need to turn ideas into impactful products. This collaboration with Cencori represents a major step forward in deepening that mission.
A Shared Vision for Builders
The future of technology will be shaped by those who are given access early. Access to infrastructure. Access to real-world tools. Access to mentorship and opportunity. Through this partnership, Univad and Cencori will work together to lower the barrier to entry for ambitious builders within our 10,000+ strong student community. By connecting emerging talent directly with cutting-edge tools and real product environments, we are creating pathways for hands-on innovation rather than theoretical learning.
This is not just about exposure. It is about enablement.
Strengthening the Ecosystem
Strong ecosystems are built when education, infrastructure, and opportunity intersect, and by collaborating with Cencori, we are expanding what is possible inside the Univad builder ecosystem. Our community members will gain structured access to new tools, technical support, collaborative initiatives, and practical learning experiences that reflect real industry standards.
For the broader ecosystem, this partnership signals something important: the gap between learning and building is shrinking. Students and early-stage developers are no longer waiting until graduation to create meaningful solutions. They are building now, launching now, and solving real problems now.
“I’m particularly excited about Univad’s partnership with Cencori because it represents the kind of intentional opportunity bridge our ecosystem is built for. This collaboration creates direct pathways to internships, entry-level and mid-level roles, as well as meaningful technical integrations for builders within our community. Said Joy Chukwu, Community manager at Univad.
"For the builders I work closely with, this means they will not only learn and build in isolation, but also gain structured opportunities to apply their skills, access industry exposure, and grow within a forward-thinking AI-driven environment. This is a significant and welcome step forward for our community.”
When learning platforms and builder communities work together with intention, progress moves faster and ideas turn into real outcomes.
Through this partnership, members of the Univad community gain access to entry- and mid-level internship and job opportunities, creating stronger pathways into meaningful careers.
From Community to Creation
Univad’s builder community has consistently demonstrated creativity, technical depth, and execution speed. With the support of Cencori, we expect to see:
More experimental projects move into production
More student-led solutions tackling real-world challenges
More collaboration across technical and non-technical talent
More visibility for outstanding builders within the ecosystem
“Infrastructure is only as powerful as the builders behind it. At Cencori, we are strengthening the reliability layer for AI across Africa, while Univad is developing the talent layer. This partnership is a deliberate alignment to ensure that as AI production becomes more stable, the engineers building on top of it grow just as rapidly. We’re excited to open our doors and our API to Univad’s ecosystem.” — Daniel Oreofe, Co-founder & COO, Cencori
This partnership creates a stronger bridge between learning, experimentation, and deployment.
What This Means Going Forward
In the coming months, both teams will collaborate on initiatives designed to inspire, educate, and activate builders within the Univad community. These initiatives will focus on practical engagement, technical empowerment, and meaningful exposure for top talent.
Our goal is simply to create an environment where ambitious builders are supported not just with knowledge, but with real infrastructure and real opportunity. We believe partnerships should move ecosystems forward. This one does exactly that.
We are proud to welcome Cencori into the Univad ecosystem and look forward to seeing what our community creates next.
