The Placement of $2.6 million, inclusive of ECA’s subscription, will be undertaken in two tranches.
Commenting on the Placement, Rupesh Singh, CEO of Education Centre of Australia, said: “I am proud to see growing institutional interest as Openlearning gains traction in emerging markets. With over 25 years of experience in the Australian education sector, I recognise OpenLearning as a clear market leader in EdTech, pioneering the next evolution of educational products.

OpenLearning now has a fully functioning Learning Management System (LMS) that is rapidly scaling across emerging markets, with the Philippines as a strong case study of successful execution. The LMS serves as the core system for universities, the value of each student added to the platform is significant and cannot be undervalued, particularly as international universities expand into these markets.

OpenLearning CEO and Managing Director Adam Brimo said: “We extend our sincere gratitude to our institutional investors for their continued confidence in the company. This capital raise positions us to achieve cash-flow breakeven. This year has been a transformative period for OpenLearning, during which we have strengthened our competitive position in the learning management system sector and delivered robust sales growth, with our SaaS platform expanding at a 22% growth rate. Our successful market entry into the Philippines, new contracts in Australia and Malaysia, and the establishment of a reseller partnership in Brazil represent key strategic milestones. We remain committed to advancing our expansion efforts across emerging markets and maintaining product leadership in the LMS category, particularly in generative AI.”
Strong Traction in SaaS LMS Business
OpenLearning has achieved 14 consecutive quarters of year-on-year SaaS revenue growth. This growth has been underpinned by a series of multi-year SaaS contracts with major universities and education providers across Australia, Malaysia, and the Philippines. Recent contracts include National University Philippines (5 years, 40,000 students), Cebu Institute of Technology (5 years), and CE Logic, a leading publisher and edtech distributor.
These agreements demonstrate OpenLearning’s ability to win high-value, long-term contracts and position it as the preferred AI-powered LMS in emerging markets.
OpenLearning’s differentiated AI-driven learning management system combines a flexible, projectbased learning design with an embedded AI Course Builder and Assistant that reduce course development time by up to 80%. This innovation has positioned OpenLearning as a first mover in generative AI for education, competing successfully against global incumbents while delivering superior value and scalability to institutions. The Company will continue to invest in product development to drive growth and respond to customer requirements.
Growth Strategy
The Company’s expansion strategy focuses on markets where institutions are shifting rapidly from onpremises systems to SaaS-based LMS solutions. Having built a strong foundation in Australia and Malaysia, OpenLearning is now scaling rapidly across Southeast Asia, with more than $1.8 million in new SaaS contracts signed in the Philippines in the last six months alone.
The sales pipeline in the Philippines has continued to grow and the Company has recently signed a reseller agreement with CE Logic that is expected to further drive sales growth in 2026.
The company has also laid the groundwork in Brazil by signing a reseller agreement with a leading local reseller, Learnbase, and secured its first customers in Indonesia, and Vietnam, and is exploring early opportunities in the Middle East.
In India, Gujarat University, one of the country’s largest and oldest public universities with over 200,000 students, has commenced a pilot of the OpenLearning LMS and announced the start of enrolments for online courses to be delivered on the platform from October 2025. These efforts provide a clear path toward achieving scale and diversification across multiple high-growth markets.
