Udemy entering China

Hi @Bella
,

I have noticed Udemy's post at LinkedIn announcing some moves towards Udemy entering Chinese market.

Link: http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/a/202212/17/WS639cf975a31057c47eba4d3b.html

Please, could you tell us more about it?

Is this going to be just for UBF at first, or it will be valid for the Marketplace as well?

What would be some expected dynamics? Etc.

Thanks in advance,

Boris

    Hi @Boris035, I apologize for the delay in responding here, but to confirm, our current focus is on expanding the Udemy Business program in China.

    The development of this expansion is still at a very early stage, so we are not able to share any further information about it. However, we will certainly share any updates with the community once we do. Thank you once again for your inquiry!

    Please keep us updated. My course on udemy for business has 6 students from China and 23 from Singapore. Most are from USA and India. This got my wheels turning as I’m in a women’s group with a lady from China. She is doing some marketing for our group and she showed me the WeChat platform that she is an influencer with 1.1 M followers. Whew …..I’m curious how many students are fluent in English and how the students are reacting to the course. Big favor for me to ask her to plug my course ……
