academyEX, known for its focus on professional education and EdTech solutions, has announced its strategic investment in BSI Learning to enhance its presence in the Australian educational technology sector. The company seeks to leverage this partnership with BSI Learning, an established vocational learning and development provider 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.
academyEX is a higher education institute designed to meet evolving industry needs and prepare people for the next career stage. It provides highly-focused learning in technological disruption, leadership, sustainability and education. Specializing in postgraduate education and learning technology solutions, the firm partners with leading organizations to deliver innovative professional development programs and digital learning platforms. The platform is recognized for its “AI Experience Lab,” a unique space in Auckland where small businesses can practically use artificial intelligence tools. The lab focuses on real-world applications and allows participants to explore technologies such as machine learning and natural language processing through interactive projects.
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 organizations and professionals learn, adapt, and thrive in a world in constant motion. 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.
academyEX is taking this step when there is growing demand for professional development to meet new challenges in a rapidly changing world. Its successful AI initiatives, including its “AI Pop-Up Lab,” reflect its commitment to equipping learners with skills that align with future work demands. 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.
Simona added:
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 organizations.
This investment strengthens academyEX’s position in the Australian professional development market and enhances its global presence. Simona believes that this partnership comes at a crucial time when organizations are grappling with technology transformation and the growing skills gap.
Furthermore, 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.
