Classera won Intel’s 2025 Social Impact Award for a second straight year.

The award, under Skills for Innovation, rewards “meaningful change in education”.

The announcement came at BETT UK 2026, where Classera hosted its own pavilion.

Classera also reached the BETT Global Awards 2026 top 10 for transformational impact.

The firm will deepen its Intel partnership, linking classrooms to future digital economies.

Classera has notched up another international win, taking first place in Intel’s 2025 Social Impact Award for the second year running. The recognition sits under Intel’s Skills for Innovation programme, which backs organisations using technology to create meaningful change in education, not just shiny dashboards and buzzwords.

The announcement landed at BETT UK 2026 in London, the giant annual gathering that, if you’ve ever walked its halls, can feel like a marathon of demos, ideas and the occasional sensory overload. Classera was there with its own pavilion, rubbing shoulders with some of the world’s biggest edtech names — no small feat, well… I mean, anyone who’s exhibited at BETT knows it’s a bit of a faff to stand out.

Winning the award again says something about consistency. It also comes alongside another nod, with Classera shortlisted as a finalist in the BETT Global Awards 2026 under the Transformational Impact category. The company made it into the global top 10 from thousands of applicants, a detail that’s easy to skim past but pretty spot on when you consider how crowded the edtech field has become.

Intel’s Skills for Innovation partner awards focus on organisations that help classrooms evolve into smarter learning environments. The emphasis isn’t just on tools, but on sustainability, community engagement and widening access to skills-based education that actually prepares students for what comes next. From watching how schools across the MENA region wrestle with digital transformation, I reckon that long-term mindset is the hard part — and also the part that matters most.

Engineer Mohammed Almadani, CEO of Classera Smart Learning, said the recognition carries added responsibility. He noted that the company aims to go beyond providing smart platforms by connecting educational outcomes with the needs of the digital economy, adding that its partnership with Intel plays a key role in helping institutions compete on a global stage.

The award reflects Classera’s ongoing work with teachers, ministries of education and academic institutions, from rolling out digital learning tools to investing in professional development and skills aligned with future labour markets. Intel, during the ceremony at BETT UK, pointed to Classera’s ability to turn theory into practical classroom use, with clearer community impact and measurable results.

Looking ahead, Classera plans to deepen its collaboration with Intel as it pushes for cross-border education innovation. For readers who’ve followed edtech stories on Arageek for years, this feels like another example of a regional company proving it can go toe-to-toe globally — and that’s definately something worth paying attention to.
