• Cairo-based startup Qualiphi supports over 500,000 students across 40 universities.
• The platform uses AI to align academic pathways with labor market needs.
• The company targets expansion across the Middle East and North Africa.

Qualiphi, founded in 2025 by Nevien Magdy and based in Cairo, has developed a technology solution designed to transform how universities manage career pathways. The platform operates as a Career Services Management (CSM) system that enables universities and schools to digitize their career services. The tool covers key stages, including career exploration, skills development, access to internships and job opportunities, and connections with recruiters.

“The platform [Qualiphi] currently supports more than 500,000 students and graduates across 40 universities, along with a growing network of employers seeking to identify, attract, and develop the next generation of talent,” the startup said.

Qualiphi targets the persistent gap between academic training and labor market needs. The platform integrates analytics and recommendation tools to guide students toward career paths aligned with employer expectations while facilitating recruitment processes for companies.

Moreover, the solution reflects a broader regional trend toward digitizing higher education and employability services.

The startup has already secured partnerships with academic institutions and public sector stakeholders, aiming to build an integrated ecosystem linking universities, students, and employers.

Qualiphi has recently strengthened its market position through external growth operations aimed at expanding its services across the Middle East and North Africa. The company aims to scale its platform regionally while improving graduate employability and providing businesses with more structured access to emerging talent.
