NAIROBI, KENYA, February 25, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- ๐๐๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฎ ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ป๐ถ๐ป๐ด, a global education technology organisation headquartered in Tampa, Florida, has initiated strategic discussions with the leadership of the ๐จ๐ป๐ถ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ถ๐๐ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ก๐ฎ๐ถ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฏ๐ถ (๐จ๐ผ๐ก) to explore a collaboration on the development of a future-ready, AI-powered eCampus. The engagement centres on how a shared digital ecosystem can strengthen UoN's academic and research mission while expanding access and improving the learning experience for students across Kenya and the wider region.
The University of Nairobi is one of Africa's foremost universities and a defining institution in East Africa's academic landscape. This engagement reflects Astria Learning's commitment to working with leading institutions that share a vision for inclusive, technology-enabled education and UoN's growing interest in building a digital infrastructure that reflects its standing and ambitions.
