Potential areas of collaboration include AI solutions for education, language testing initiatives, joint research, technical and commercial exchanges, AI-focused training programmes, potential joint investments, participation in industry events and initiatives supporting the company\u2019s integration into the Saudi education and innovation ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The MoU also contemplates the parties exploring co-operation in Arabic language testing initiatives and opportunities relating to a potential Artificial Intelligence academy in Saudi Arabia. Given Wadi Makkah\u2019s position as a technology and investment company wholly owned by Umm Al-Qura University, the company believes the framework may provide a relevant platform for evaluating such initiatives within the Kingdom\u2019s university-linked education and innovation ecosystem, subject to further discussions, required approvals and definitive agreements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wadi Makkah is part of the Umm Al-Qura University ecosystem and is focused on supporting the knowledge economy through co-operation among educational and research institutions, entrepreneurs, technology companies and the business and investment community.

We view Saudi Arabia as a key market in our global strategy, where local partnerships, implementation capabilities and alignment with regulatory frameworks are essential to building a sustainable edtech platform. Wadi Makkah\u2019s position as a technology and investment company wholly owned by Umm Al-Qura University provides strong relevance within Saudi Arabia\u2019s education and innovation ecosystem, and through this MoU, we intend to explore potential collaboration in AI-enabled education, language testing, training, research and localised services to support institutions and learners across the Kingdom.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Framework with Umm Al-Qura University-owned technology and investment company to explore AI education, language testing and Saudi market initiatives.
