AI-driven education technology company Ruanyun Edai Technology has signed a memorandum of understanding with Wadi Makkah Technology Company to expand its presence in Saudi Arabia’s education sector. Wadi Makkah is a technology and investment company owned by Umm Al-Qura University and plays an important role in supporting innovation and academic development in the Kingdom.
The agreement creates a framework for both organizations to explore collaboration in education technology, AI-based learning tools, language assessment, workforce training, and academic research. The partnership will also examine opportunities to build new skill development programs designed to prepare students and professionals for future jobs.
A major focus of the deal is the possible development of Arabic language testing solutions and an artificial intelligence academy in Saudi Arabia. These initiatives aim to improve digital learning access, strengthen technical skills, and support the country’s growing demand for AI talent.
Ruanyun Edai said the partnership will help it build stronger local connections and better align its education solutions with Saudi Arabia’s academic and regulatory environment. The company sees the Kingdom as a strategic market as it expands its global education platform.
Maggie Fu, CEO of Ruanyun Edai Technology, said local partnerships are essential for creating sustainable education technology systems. She added that working with Wadi Makkah could open opportunities in AI-powered education, localized learning services, and training solutions that support institutions and learners across Saudi Arabia.

The company is also working toward shifting from a software-focused business to a broader institution-facing education services model. This includes offering implementation support, learning tools, assessment systems, and cross-border educational services.
Ruanyun Edai aims to generate around 60 percent of its total revenue from international markets by 2027. The company said its Saudi regional headquarters will play a key role in helping it achieve this goal through stronger academic partnerships and localized innovation.
