AcademyEX invests in BSI Learning to advance EdTech in Aus

Tue, 26th Nov 2024

AcademyEX has announced its strategic investment in BSI Learning to enhance its presence in the Australian educational technology sector.

AcademyEX, known for its focus on professional education and EdTech solutions, seeks to leverage this partnership with BSI Learning, an established provider of vocational learning and development in Australia.

This move is set to expand academyEX's approach to learning into the Australian market, offering new vocational and digital learning solutions collaboratively with BSI.

Simona Turin, who serves as the newly appointed Chair of BSI and the Chief Executive Officer of academyEX, stated, "This strategic partnership isn't just about combining resources — it's about reimagining how organisations and professionals learn, adapt, and thrive in a world in constant motion."

AcademyEX is taking this step at a time when there is growing demand for professional development to meet new challenges presented in a rapidly changing world.

The company's successful AI initiatives, including its "AI Pop-Up Lab," reflect its commitment to equipping learners with skills that align with future work demands.

Simona further explains, "Many learning models aren't keeping pace with today's rapidly evolving workplace. By combining academyEX's expertise in large-scale digital transformation and postgraduate education with BSI's proven track record in vocational and digital learning solutions, we're creating unprecedented learning pathways that deliver both immediate impact and long-term change."

This investment strengthens academyEX's position in the Australian professional development market and enhances its global presence. Simona notes, "This partnership comes at a crucial time when organisations are grappling with technology transformation and the growing skills gap."

"Together, academyEX and BSI Learning create a unique platform that doesn't just talk about future-ready learning — it delivers it, as evidenced by the thousands of professionals already completing targeted courses and transformative programmes across both organisations."

The collaboration offers BSI Learning's clients immediate access to academyEX's technological and educational strategies, while academyEX's partners can benefit from expanded training solutions.

AcademyEX is recognised for its "AI Experience Lab," a unique space in Auckland where small businesses can engage with artificial intelligence tools in a practical setting. The lab focuses on real-world applications and offers participants the opportunity to explore technologies such as machine learning and natural language processing through interactive projects.

Additionally, academyEX's collaboration with the Ministry of Social Development on the award-winning "Digital Passport" has enrolled over 4,200 New Zealanders in digital literacy modules, indicating its significant role in fostering essential skills for the modern job market.

Simona Turin concludes, "This isn't about maintaining the status quo — it's about breaking the right rules to create learning experiences that actually work in today's world. Because in a world in motion, standing still isn't an option."
