Udemy announced a partnership with LG CNS, a leading Korean AI‑transformation firm, to bring its AI‑powered learning platform to more than 500 enterprise clients and millions of professionals across manufacturing, telecommunications, financial services and other key industries.

The deal gives Udemy access to LG CNS’s distribution network, enabling the company to deploy its Model Context Protocol Server, AI Assistant and Role‑Play tools in Korean organizations. The collaboration is designed to accelerate AI fluency in the workplace and position Udemy as a key partner for enterprise learning in a market that ranks fourth globally for innovation strength.

The partnership is part of Udemy’s broader strategy to grow its enterprise‑grade subscription business in high‑growth regions. By leveraging LG CNS’s local expertise, Udemy can accelerate customer acquisition and deepen its footprint in the Asia‑Pacific, potentially boosting its enterprise revenue mix and supporting its AI‑powered platform strategy.

Udemy’s CEO Hugo Sarrazin said, “AI fluency is now a global business imperative for achieving meaningful outcomes and boosting workforce productivity.” The partnership underscores the company’s focus on AI‑driven learning solutions and its commitment to expanding in markets with strong innovation ecosystems.

Analysts have noted that South Korea’s fourth‑place ranking in the Global Innovation Index, combined with a projected AI market size of over $53 billion by 2032, creates a favorable environment for upskilling initiatives. The partnership is expected to help Udemy capture a larger share of the enterprise learning market in Korea and drive long‑term growth.

Recent earnings highlighted strong enterprise revenue growth, offset by a decline in consumer revenue, reflecting Udemy’s shift toward higher‑margin subscription customers. The new partnership is positioned to reinforce that trajectory by tapping a robust enterprise network and a market primed for AI adoption.
