Insights
Pilot expands HanLink’s institutional footprint but remains early-stage.
Ruanyun Edai Technology is testing its HanLink AI Chinese language platform with the Center on Chinese Education at Teachers College, Columbia University. This follows a four-week Saudi pilot involving 500 students and a cooperation agreement with the Confucius Institute at Prince Sultan University.
The projects signal a shift toward institutional support services, where schools seek technology plus implementation help. Management links these efforts to a globalization plan and a target of approximately 60% of revenue from international markets by the end of 2027, as well as a planned rebranding to Formind Group.
The financial impact depends on whether pilots convert into broader institutional adoption or additional agreements. Future disclosures may clarify how much revenue ultimately comes from these partnerships and whether the 60% international revenue target by 2027 is met.

Ruanyun Edai Technology Launches Pilot Project with the Center on Chinese Education at Teachers College, Columbia University as Part of Expansion into Educational Institutional Support Services
HanLink initiative builds on progress in Saudi Arabia and aligns with Ruanyun’s ongoing globalization strategy, planned branding transition to Formind Group, and set target of deriving approximately 60% of revenue from international markets by the end of 2027.
NANCHANG, China, April 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ruanyun Edai Technology Inc. (NASDAQ: RYET) (“Ruanyun Edai Technology,” “RYET,” or the “Company”), an AI-driven education technology company focused on intelligent content recognition, automated assessment and next-generation learning systems, today announced the launch of a pilot project with the Center on Chinese Education at Teachers College, Columbia University as part of its broader expansion into educational institutional support services.
The pilot project, implemented through the Center on Chinese Education at Teachers College, Columbia University, is conducted under a signed award letter pursuant to which Ruanyun has agreed to provide a grant to support an AI-assisted Chinese language and culture learning program using its HanLink platform.
The initiative builds on the Company’s progress in Saudi Arabia. In May 2025, Ruanyun launched a four-week HankLink pilot at Education & Skills International School in Riyadh involving 500 students in grades 1–12, reporting metrics including homework accuracy, oral proficiency, and self- guided practice time. In July 2025, the Company announced a cooperation agreement with the Confucius Institute at Prince Sultan University to support further scaling of HanLink.
Ruanyun believes the initiative supports its strategy of expanding beyond standalone AI software toward a more institution-facing model for educational delivery, as institutions increasingly require not only technology tools but also support in implementation, classroom integration, learner engagement, and program development. The Columbia University pilot will support further evaluation of HanLink in academic settings. HanLink is Ruanyun’s AI-powered Chinese language learning platform, designed for pronunciation assessment, writing analysis, dialogue practice, and classroom integration.
The Company has recently established its Saudi regional headquarters as part of its international expansion strategy and has set a target of deriving approximately 60% of revenue from international markets by the end of 2027, alongside its planned transition to Formind Group.
In connection with the pilot, Ruanyun plans to participate in the upcoming Chinese Language Teachers Association, USA (CLTA) Annual Conference, to be held May 1-3, 2026 in Rhode Island, to engage with the U.S. Chinese-language education community and share insights on HanLink and AI-supported instruction and explore opportunities with educational institutions in the U.S.
“This pilot project with Columbia University is an important initiative in our international expansion,” said Maggie Fu, Chief Executive Officer of Ruanyun Edai Technology Inc. “We believe it will help evaluate HanLink’s deployment in U.S. academic settings and support our broader expansion into institutional services. We look forward to building on this experience with U.S. educational partners.”
