Our Esteemed Partners
We have developed strong relationships with industry leaders. These are the partners that we work with:

The purpose of LPI is to enable economic and creative opportunities for everybody by making open source knowledge and skills certification universally accessible.There’s a cultural shift challenging the concept of ‘business as usual’.
