About Us - Building a Co-Production Hub for Academia & IT Industry
SUCCESS establishes a sustainable collaboration capability between Latin American universities and their regional IT sectors - co-creating education, research and lifelong-learning around real-world innovation.
Our Purpose
Despite vibrant academic talent, Colombia and Panama still face a gap between research and industry. SUCCESS bridges this by embedding internships, industry-led projects, and micro-credentials directly into higher-education programmes.
- Embed real-world IT projects & internships into curricula
- Co-design new micro-credentials with industry partners
- Train teachers & practitioners for long-term system impact
- Foster North-South capacity building & best practice exchange
- Enable sustainable co-production between academia & business
- Equip LATAM students & staff with skills for global IT markets
