For the ASTI Foundation, the partnership agreement with EDT Partners is a big step towards ensuring its aim of promoting STEM vocations, specifically among females, and reaching all areas of the world. It is also a strategic alliance to explore other opportunities related to educational innovation, something the institution has believed in and worked towards from its inception.
