Opportunities

Let's build what comes next.

ASKN is interested in working with organisations and individuals who share our belief that education, skills and technology can work more effectively when they are connected.

Strategic partnerships

Partnerships across the sector

We are interested in partnerships with education organisations, training providers, technology companies, employers, government organisations and sector specialists.

Investment

Investing in the long-term opportunity

As our ecosystem develops, we are open to conversations with investors who understand the long-term opportunity created by connecting operational education experience, skills development and scalable education technology. We are particularly interested in strategic investment that brings not only capital, but also knowledge, networks and market access.

Technology collaboration

Building Nomass.AI together

Nomass.AI creates opportunities to collaborate with AI developers, education technology companies, AI vision and sensor specialists, software developers, universities and researchers, education providers, SEND specialists, and data and technology organisations. We are interested in technologies that complement our existing development rather than technology for its own sake.

Education & training partnerships

Growing skills and provision together

Through Smart Kids Nursery and Stanfords Training, we are interested in partnerships involving early years education, SEND, workforce development, CPD, apprenticeships, professional qualifications, industry-specific training, employer-led skills development, research and innovation.

Saudi Arabia & GCC growth

An important part of our future strategy

Saudi Arabia and the wider GCC represent an important part of ASKN's future strategy. We are interested in conversations with education operators, nursery groups, training organisations, investors, government and institutional stakeholders, property and development partners, technology companies, universities and strategic regional partners. We are particularly interested in partnerships that combine local market knowledge with ASKN's education, skills and technology experience.

Why partner with ASKN

We build from the inside out.

ASKN is different because our ideas are developed from within operating education environments. We do not view education, training and technology as separate industries. We see them as parts of the same system.

Operational Experience

Real-World Development Environments

The ability to understand, test and refine solutions within operational settings.

SEND Experience

A strong commitment to inclusive education and supporting children with additional needs.

Workforce Development

Experience developing practitioners, apprentices, managers and future leaders.

Technology Development

The ability to translate operational challenges into scalable digital solutions.

Commercial Potential

Opportunities to transform internal knowledge into services that support other organisations.

UK and GCC Ambition

A strategy designed to connect UK experience with opportunities across Saudi Arabia and the wider GCC.
