Funding traction Soliya has recently secured $1.7M in financing and is positioned for strategic growth including a potential merger with AFS Intercultural Programs, signaling readiness for new funding conversations and partnership-led expansion opportunities.

Global reach With alumni over 75,000 and participants from 120+ nationalities, Soliya demonstrates broad international impact, creating entry points for partnerships with universities, NGOs, and multinational corporations seeking scalable intercultural training at scale.

Strategic partnerships Recent and ongoing collaborations with UNESCO, AFS, UNESCO Global Open Science Partnership, and regional universities indicate strong appetite for co-branded training programs, resource centers, and regional language adaptations that can be monetized through sponsored initiatives.

Regional expansion The launch of the Arabic-Language Resource Center and targeted MENA programs suggests a prime opportunity to sell localized VE curricula, facilitator training, and certification pathways to Middle East and North Africa institutions seeking culturally relevant dialogue capabilities.

Enterprise readiness Soliya trains facilitators up to UN certification level and supports top universities and global companies, presenting a compelling cross-sell for enterprise learning budgets, executive education partners, and corporate DEI or conflict-navigation programs.
