Pioneering Higher Education Technology Firm Stellic Named 2026 Student Success Platform of the Year

Published

on

Award-winning platform is now helping more than 1 million students navigate complex academic journeys, make informed decisions, and chart clearer pathways to graduation and career success

SAN MATEO, Calif., June 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stellic—the developer of the popular academic planning and degree management platform that now serves more than 1 million students across more than 100 colleges and universities—today announced that it has been selected as winner of the “Student Success Platform of the Year” award by EdTech Breakthrough. The award program, now in its eighth year, recognizes breakthrough educational technology products and companies reshaping how the world learns from K-12 and higher education to corporate L&D and lifelong learning.

“Every student makes hundreds of decisions on the way to a degree, and most of them are harder than they should be,” said Sabih Bin Wasi, co-founder and CEO of Stellic. “The information exists, it’s just not connected in a way students, or staff, can actually use. That’s the problem our team and our partners show up to work on every day. This recognition reflects the real demand for that kind of clarity in higher education, and our dedication to delivering it.”

At a time when more than 40 million Americans have some college but no credential, and student pathways increasingly span multiple institutions, transfer credits, and learning experiences, navigating higher education has become more complex than ever. Students are often asked to make high-stakes academic decisions with information scattered across disconnected systems, creating barriers that can delay progress and derail completion.

Stellic brings critical information together in a student-facing platform that helps learners understand degree requirements, track progress, evaluate transfer credits, identify the right courses and connect with support before small obstacles become significant barriers to completion. The platform helps students make the hundreds of decisions that shape their college experience with greater confidence by providing a clear view of their progress, options, and opportunities, while giving institutions the insights needed to remove barriers and improve outcomes. Stellic’s suite of tools includes Progress for degree management, Care for proactive advising, and Explore for transfer credit evaluation.

Stellic is redefining academic planning and degree management by helping institutions connect the data, decisions, and support systems that shape a student’s path from enrollment through graduation. Colleges and universities are seeing measurable results using the platform.

At Santa Monica College, the platform helped identify more than 5,400 previously unrecognized degrees and certificates, expanding recognition of student achievement. At Carnegie Mellon University, approximately 80% of students use Stellic to navigate degree requirements and academic planning. At Texas Christian University, 90% student adoption has supported more than 40,000 academic planning actions and 23,000 advising appointments, helping create a more connected and proactive advising experience.

Over the past year, more than 14 million interactions moved through the Stellic platform, including 11.5 million student sessions and 2.5 million faculty and staff sessions. Those interactions represent students mapping degree pathways, evaluating transfer credits, selecting courses, tracking progress toward graduation, and making the everyday decisions that determine whether they stay on track.

The recognition caps a year of continued growth and momentum for Stellic. Today, more than 100 colleges and universities—including community colleges, public and private institutions, and leading research universities—rely on Stellic’s platform to help students make informed decisions, navigate degree requirements, and stay on track to completion.

EdTech Breakthrough’s competitive selection process, evaluated by a panel of industry experts, assesses entries across six core criteria—innovation, performance, ease of use, functionality, value, and impact. This year’s award program drew a record number of nominations from innovators across more than 20 countries, with thousands of entries evaluated across categories spanning the full learner lifecycle—from student engagement and classroom management to workforce development, corporate learning, and postsecondary student success.

Iyuno’s Strategic Approach: Multi-Agent AI, Built Around Context

Published

on

By

Specialized AI agents are becoming an industry-wide shift. Iyuno applied that approach to one of media’s hardest problems: giving AI a memory that holds up across scenes, episodes, and seasons.

BURBANK, Calif., Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Iyuno, the world’s largest media localization company, today detailed the multi-agent engineering behind CLOE’s Contextual Memory, built on the belief that applying specialized AI agents to a narrow, well-defined problem outperforms brute-force scale.

Most enterprise AI deployments chase scale — bigger models, bigger context windows, bigger compute bills — and still lose narrative continuity across long-form video. CLOE takes a different approach, built on three principles:

Vertical Multi-Agent Orchestration. Instead of one monolithic model, a network of hyper-specialized micro-agents each performs a specific function, such as character relationship mapping, emotional intent, prosodic matching, or brand compliance, instead of relying on a single system to perform every task.High-Density, Low-Token Prompting. Raw video, audio, and script are synthesized into a structured knowledge graph first; agents work from compressed, high-signal context vectors instead of massive raw inputs, cutting token consumption and inference cost per title.Persistent Graph Memory. Agent outputs converge into one persistent ontology graph instead of being discarded after each task, so understanding compounds across a title, season, or franchise without compounding inference cost.

“Our focus was never building the biggest AI system—it was building the right one for media,” said David Lee, Founder & CEO of Iyuno. “For a broad, general-purpose problem, bigger models and more compute make sense. For a specialized domain like entertainment, that scale doesn’t buy you the thing that actually matters: narrative continuity. Specialized agents working off precise, high-density context get us state-of-the-art understanding at a fraction of the footprint, and that footprint doesn’t grow with catalog size the way monolithic approaches do. Every title we process makes the graph more capable, not more expensive to run.”

This architecture already runs Iyuno’s commercial suite: CLOE Enterprise (SaaS), CLOE Sub, CLOE Script, CLOE Dub, and CLOE Live — in live studio and streaming production today. Future announcements will detail how it extends into CLOE Skills across accessibility, marketing, and additional workflows.

Iyuno (www.iyuno.com) is a leading provider of localization services for the media and entertainment industry. Trusted by top entertainment brands and creators worldwide, Iyuno offers comprehensive end-to-end localization services from 40 offices across 29 countries.

OSLO, Norway, Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Nel ASA (Nel) (OSE: NEL) has entered into a framework agreement with Hydrasun to establish dedicated assembly and integration capabilities for the MC Series, Nel’s modular and scalable PEM technology platform. With this partnership, Nel gains an experienced integration partner in Europe, complementing its existing integration setup in the US and widening its delivery capabilities for the European market. Nel’s PEM stack production will continue at Nel’s Wallingford, Connecticut facility in the US.

Under the agreement, Hydrasun will develop production capabilities for the assembly and integration of Nel’s containerized PEM technology platform. Hydrasun will procure, integrate, and manufacture the balance of plant systems surrounding the electrolyser stack, enabling delivery of a fully integrated, modular, and containerized electrolyser offering, while stack production continues to be done by Nel from its Wallingford facility. The collaboration gives Nel an experienced integration partner in Europe at a time of growing demand for standardized, modular electrolyser solutions. It will expand Nel’s manufacturing flexibility and strengthen supply chain resilience, while bringing production capabilities closer to key growth markets. Hydrasun’s initiative is supported by the Scottish Government’s Just Transition Fund and will see Hydrasun invest in and upgrade its Aberdeen facilities to support clean technology manufacturing.

“This agreement marks a defining moment in Hydrasun’s evolution. For 50 years we’ve supported the energy industry in the areas of fluid transfer, power and control solutions, and clean energy, this investment builds directly on that industrial capability,” says James Gaskell, Chief Executive at Hydrasun. “Establishing Scotland’s first electrolyser assembly and integration facility is a proud milestone for the company and an important step forward for Aberdeen’s energy sector more broadly, ensuring the city has genuine clean energy manufacturing capability.”

The project is expected to contribute to the development of Scotland’s clean energy manufacturing sector by building on existing industrial competence in Aberdeen, supporting skills development, supply chain activity, and high-value employment. Hydrasun has stated that the initiative has the potential to create up to 12 new jobs while safeguarding a further 11 existing roles.

“We are pleased to be working with Hydrasun to establish an experienced European integration partner for our standardized PEM electrolyser solutions, the MC Series. As demand for standardized, modular systems grows, this collaboration enhances our ability to serve key markets while creating greater flexibility and scalability across our production network,” says Tushar Ghuwalewala, SVP PEM Operations at Nel.
