Over the last several months, Ruanyun has focused on global expansion and its planned transition to the Formind Group identity. Key steps included a $1.73 million financing at $1.00 per unit on Apr 8, 2026, multiple MOUs with universities in Malaysia and Saudi Arabia, and pilots for the HanLink platform in Saudi Arabia and at Columbia University. Those updates often coincided with positive price reactions, suggesting investors have been responsive to concrete commercialization or financing milestones. Today’s Saudi HanLink agreement extends that same international commercialization narrative.

Agreement supports HanLink’s local commercialization in Saudi Arabia, with regional implementation and support services expected to be coordinated through Ruanyun Edai Technology’s Saudi Regional Headquarters
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, May 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Link Door Smart Company (“Link Door”), a Saudi-based technology services company and strategic associate of Ruanyun Edai Technology Inc. (NASDAQ: RYET) (“Ruanyun” or the “Company”), today announced that it has entered into a procurement and service agreement with Alfyaseh Trading Est. for the deployment and support of the HanLink Chinese Learning Platform in Saudi Arabia.
Under the agreement, Link Door will provide Alfyaseh Trading Est. with access to the HanLink Chinese Learning Platform, including a one-year, non-exclusive and non-transferable platform license, platform deployment and account activation services, basic operational training for administrators and teachers, technical support and maintenance, system updates, bug fixes, and related functional improvements (the “Transaction”).
HanLink is an AI-assisted Chinese language learning platform developed within the Ruanyun ecosystem. The platform is designed to support Chinese language instruction through digital learning tools, student and teacher portals, administrative dashboards, online classroom functionality, AI-assisted learning features, and learning analytics.
The agreement is intended to support HanLink’s early commercial deployment in Saudi Arabia through a localized channel structure. Link Door is expected to act as a Saudi customer-facing commercialization and services partner for HanLink deployments, while Jiangxi Ruanyun Technology Co., Ltd., the variable interest entity through which Ruanyun conducts certain operations, licenses platform rights to Link Door. Ruanyun’s Saudi Regional Headquarters, operating through Soft Cloud Smart Technology Company, is expected to support Link Door through regional management, implementation assistance, technical support coordination, training support, project management, and related market-development services.
“This agreement represents another step in HanLink’s commercialization pathway in Saudi Arabia,” said Maggie Fu, Chief Executive Officer of Ruanyun Edai Technology Inc. “Saudi Arabia has been an important early market for HanLink, beginning with pilot activities and institutional cooperation frameworks, and now extending into localized commercial deployment through strategic associates such as Link Door. We believe this structure allows HanLink to reach local customers more effectively, while Ruanyun’s Saudi Regional Headquarters supports regional management, implementation, technical coordination, training, and market-development services. As Ruanyun continues its planned transition toward the Formind Group identity, we believe Saudi Arabia and the broader MENA region can become important contributors to our international education technology and institutional support services strategy.”
The agreement follows Ruanyun’s previously announced Saudi market initiatives, including HanLink pilot activities in Saudi Arabia, cooperation involving Prince Sultan University’s Confucius Institute, and the establishment of Ruanyun’s Saudi Regional Headquarters. Ruanyun believes this new agreement reflects continued interest in AI-enabled education tools in Saudi Arabia, particularly in Chinese language learning, teacher support, digital classroom delivery, student engagement, and education-sector technology implementation.
