Egrya Financial Technology Inc. (“Egrya”), a leading innovator in fintech solutions across emerging markets, today unveiled its 2025 technology roadmap and announced plans to host a global developer conference in Istanbul on October 14–15, 2025. Beyond the major technology updates, a cornerstone of Egrya’s new strategic vision is its commitment to collaborating with universities worldwide to nurture the next generation of AI and blockchain developers.
In a world where technology cycles evolve faster than ever, Egrya recognizes that success lies not only in innovation but also in cultivating a global talent pool capable of sustaining technological leadership. The company’s focus on partnering with academic institutions to develop specialized training programs reflects a profound understanding of this dynamic.
Launching the Developer Training Initiative
As part of its expanded vision, Egrya will launch the Global University Developer Partnership Program (GUDP Program), aiming to establish formal collaborations with leading universities across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and North America. The goal of this initiative is to provide students, researchers, and early-career developers with hands-on training in emerging financial technologies, particularly in artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain-based asset management, and decentralized finance (DeFi) applications.
“Our objective is to bridge academic research with real-world applications, ensuring that future developers are not only theoretically proficient but also capable of deploying scalable, regulatory-compliant fintech solutions,” said Todd Mitchell Anderson, CEO of Egrya. “We believe that by investing in education today, we are securing the foundation for tomorrow’s innovations.”
Focus on ASIL-25 and PASS-25 Platforms
The training programs will specifically align with the two groundbreaking systems Egrya unveiled today:
Advanced Signal Intelligence Layer (ASIL-25): A machine-learning-driven data intelligence engine designed to dramatically enhance real-time decision-making by processing diverse financial signals.
Precision Asset-Selection Suite (PASS-25): An asset management framework leveraging predictive analytics and on-chain data verification to boost investment decision accuracy and transparency.
Students participating in the GUDP Program will receive early access to beta versions of ASIL-25 and PASS-25, enabling them to develop custom modules, run simulations, and propose enhancements. Selected participants will also be invited to present their innovations at the Istanbul developer conference this October.
Building Regional Centers of Excellence
Egrya plans to establish Regional Centers of Excellence in key cities such as Istanbul, Tehran, Berlin, Singapore, and Toronto. Each center will be linked to university partners and serve as hubs for ongoing developer training, applied research, and certification programs.
The Istanbul headquarters will host the first Center of Excellence, offering a 6-month Certified Fintech Developer (CFD) course. The curriculum will cover:
AI and machine learning fundamentals for finance
Smart contract development
Advanced signal processing techniques
Data privacy, cybersecurity, and regulatory compliance
Real-world project-based labs involving ASIL-25 and PASS-25 deployments
Upon successful completion, graduates will receive a globally recognized certificate endorsed by both Egrya and its academic partners.
Scholarships, Hackathons, and Internships
To encourage broader participation, Egrya will fund over 200 full scholarships annually for outstanding students from low- and middle-income countries. Additionally, the company will organize biannual Global Fintech Hackathons, providing a platform for young innovators to solve real-world financial challenges using Egrya’s technology stack.
Top-performing participants will be offered internships and potential full-time positions at Egrya’s offices worldwide, fostering an ecosystem where talent is nurtured from education through to employment.
Commitment to Ethical Innovation and Local Compliance
A core tenet of Egrya’s university partnerships will be education around ethical AI practices and local regulatory frameworks, especially within emerging markets like Turkey and Iran. Students will receive specialized modules on data protection laws, ethical algorithm development, and responsible AI governance to ensure that new innovations align with societal and regulatory expectations.
“Emerging markets present incredible opportunities, but they also demand a deep respect for local contexts,” Anderson emphasized. “By integrating local legal knowledge and ethical standards into our developer training, we are not only preparing better engineers but more responsible global citizens.”
Collaboration with Academic Leaders
Egrya is already in advanced discussions with top institutions including Boğaziçi University (Turkey), Sharif University of Technology (Iran), Technical University of Munich (Germany), and the University of Toronto (Canada). The company aims to expand this network to include 20 university partners by mid-2026.
These partnerships will extend beyond simple course offerings to include:
Joint research projects
Sponsored PhD scholarships
Co-authored papers on fintech innovation
Exchange programs and visiting professorships at Egrya Centers of Excellence
A New Era for Financial Technology Education
The fusion of academic rigor and real-world innovation envisioned by Egrya marks a new era in fintech education. By empowering students and researchers worldwide, Egrya is not only preparing for its own growth but is helping shape the very future of the financial technology sector.
“Our vision is simple yet ambitious,” Anderson concluded. “We want to build an open, collaborative, and ethical ecosystem where anyone, anywhere, can contribute to the next generation of financial innovation. Education is the catalyst for that vision.”
