RM heads to EDUtech Asia 2026 to expand education technology reach. RM plc is set to attend EDUtech Asia 2026 in Singapore as the education technology sector focuses increasingly on artificial intelligence, digital assessment and the practical challenges of implementing new technology. The event takes place on 4 and 5 November 2026 and will bring together education leaders, policymakers and practitioners from across Asia. Discussions will cover AI literacy, governance, personalised learning, institutional change and the evidence required to support technology adoption. RM's APAC Director, Hans Moningka, will attend the conference as a delegate, giving the company an opportunity to engage with education organisations across the region. The company's participation places its assessment and education technology activities in front of institutions considering digital transformation and the use of AI. For RM, the event provides a platform to discuss how education providers can introduce technology while maintaining trust, security and practical benefits for teachers and learners. These issues are particularly relevant to RM Assessment, which provides digital assessment services to education organisations and awarding bodies. The company is also using its experience in Singapore to demonstrate how digital assessment can be implemented at national level. RM worked with the Singapore Examinations and Assessment Board (SEAB) to introduce on-screen marking for national examinations. The programme brought locally marked Singapore-Cambridge GCE-Level subjects and PSLE examinations onto an on-screen marking system. According to RM, the change reduced the number of teachers required for PSLE marking from 14,000 to around 7,000 and reduced the marking period from four days to three. RM also states that the programme cut marking costs by 25%.

RM deepens strategic position in digital assessment with IB extension. RM plc has strengthened its position in digital education infrastructure after extending its long-standing relationship with the International Baccalaureate to continue delivering digital assessments. The agreement maintains RM's role as a technology partner to one of the world's leading international education organisations and reinforces the importance of specialist software capabilities within assessment delivery. Financial terms for the extension have not been disclosed, limiting the immediate ability to assess its direct revenue impact. However, the continuation of the relationship provides another indication that RM's assessment platform continues to meet the operational requirements associated with large-scale international examinations. Reliability, security, scalability and exam integrity are particularly important in this part of the education technology market, where disruption can carry significant operational consequences. The contract extension also highlights the potential value of established customer relationships in specialist enterprise software. Digital assessment systems can become closely integrated with an organisation's processes and technology infrastructure, increasing the complexity associated with changing providers. RM's continued work with the International Baccalaureate therefore supports its positioning in a market where specialist knowledge and a track record of dependable delivery can create meaningful barriers to replacement. That positioning may become increasingly relevant as enterprise software customers place greater emphasis on integration, speed of implementation and overall cost. Improved integration capabilities, faster time to value and lower total cost of ownership are among the leading factors influencing confidence in enterprise application spending. At the same time, a significant proportion of organisations remain willing to consider changing software suppliers as market conditions evolve.
