BEIJING, Feb. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — On February 5, 2026, AW Education International announced a partnership in Beijing with Dr. Ahmed, former Cultural and Education Attaché of Saudi Arabia to China, and Abdallah, Executive Director and President of a leading Saudi education institution. The parties formalized a long-term collaboration and confirmed plans to establish AW Education Saudi Arabia.

The partnership marks a significant step in AW Education International’s global expansion, reflecting a shift from overseas outreach to localized, two-way educational engagement. Saudi Arabia will serve as the company’s regional hub for the Middle East and Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, positioning AW Education to better serve high-net-worth families across the region.

Building a Regional Education Hub in Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia represents a cornerstone of AW Education International’s plan to open ten international branches over the next decade. The Saudi partner expressed strong support for AW Education’s high-net-worth client-focused service model and indicated plans to replicate elements of this approach across Gulf countries.

Unlike previous expansion efforts, the Saudi office will focus on in-depth localization—developing tailored education solutions that address the specific needs of Saudi families.

With more than two decades of experience in global education consulting, AW Education will combine its international university networks with local market insight. The Saudi branch will support local students seeking higher education in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada, while also facilitating academic exchange with China. By encouraging Saudi students to explore Chinese universities—and supporting Chinese institutions in expanding partnerships in the Gulf—AW Education seeks to foster more balanced, reciprocal academic mobility.

Strengthening Services for Students Studying in China

A major focus of the partnership is the development of a comprehensive student support framework for Saudi students pursuing studies in China. AW Education will assemble a dedicated local team to provide end-to-end support, including language preparation, university and major selection, admissions guidance, and in-country transition services.

For students targeting Western institutions, AW will offer integrated solutions that combine academic preparation, application strategy, and overseas support services to ensure a seamless international experience.

Connecting Education and Economic Development

Beyond student placement, AW Education Saudi Arabia will collaborate with government agencies, universities, and private-sector partners to align education initiatives with broader economic priorities. The company plans to facilitate partnerships between leading Chinese universities and higher education institutions across Saudi Arabia and the GCC, including the UAE, Qatar, and Oman.

In addition, AW Education will explore financial service partnerships to make international study more accessible, including tuition installment solutions. The company also intends to develop study-to-career pathways by connecting graduates with Chinese companies operating in the Middle East, supporting talent mobility and regional workforce development.

Looking ahead, AW Education will use Saudi Arabia as a starting point for deeper engagement in the Middle East, further strengthen university partnerships and build a customized international education platform that combines global perspective with local insight. Through these efforts, the company will support sustained educational exchange between China, Saudi Arabia, and the broader international community.

Smart contracts move into real-world trade as Unloq completes its first financing deal

By
Advertorial Desk
-
SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 13 February 2026 – Unloq today announced the completion of its first live smart-contract-based trade financing transaction, funding commercial receivables using XUSD¹. The transaction marks one of the early instances of stablecoins being used to finance real cross-border trade activity rather than purely digital-asset markets.

The financing was executed through Unloq SC+, the company’s smart-contract-driven supply chain finance infrastructure designed to connect trade documentation, payment obligations, settlement, and funding into a single unified workflow. The transaction involved a Singaporean supplier, Chemtank, receiving funding against confirmed invoices, while the buyer retained its normal payment terms.

Bridging a structural gap in trade finance

Global trade finance remains operationally fragmented: trade documentation, financing approvals, and settlement processes typically occur across separate systems and institutions, resulting in delays, higher costs, and restricted liquidity access for suppliers. By combining receivables financing with blockchain-based settlement rails, Unloq aims to reduce execution friction and improve capital efficiency across supply chains.

SC+ creates a digital representation of trade obligations that allows financing conditions and settlement triggers to be verified and executed automatically. The platform operates as an infrastructure layer capable of integrating traditional banking rails and digital value rails such as stablecoins without requiring workflow changes for buyers or suppliers.

In the completed transaction, trade documents and invoice data were recorded in an auditable format on blockchain infrastructure, while settlement was delivered in stablecoin to the supplier. The buyer’s commercial payment process remained unchanged.

Stablecoins enter commercial financing workflows

Stablecoins have seen rapid adoption in digital asset markets but have rarely been embedded into mainstream enterprise financing arrangements. This transaction demonstrates their use as a settlement rail for real-world receivables financing, enabling suppliers to access working capital while funders gain transparent exposure to verified trade assets.

Executive Commentary

Charles Song, Chairman of Unloq, said:

“This transaction shows that Unloq is able to bring innovative smart-contract-based solutions to supply chain finance, using new technology to provide transparency and efficiency, whether settlement is in fiat or stablecoin. We designed SC+ to bridge traditional receivables financing with blockchain infrastructure while fitting into existing commercial relationships. Completing our first live deal demonstrates that this model works in practice.”

Chemtank Marine Director, Lim Li-Lian said:

“Access to timely working capital is critical for suppliers. Through the SC+ program, we received funding efficiently against confirmed invoices while maintaining our standard settlement process with our customer. The structure provided clear documentation and transparency into the underlying trade assets.”

Expanding digital settlement in global supply chains

Unloq plans to expand SC+ across additional trade corridors and industries, supporting multiple settlement rails including fiat payments, stablecoins, and bank-issued digital instruments. The company believes hybrid financial infrastructure will enable broader participation from banks, funders, and corporates while improving liquidity access throughout multi-tier supply chains.

¹ XUSD is a U.S. dollar stablecoin issued by StraitsX.
