AIDO, the AI-powered international enrollment intelligence platform purpose-built for U.S. higher education by former enrollment professionals, today announced a new partnership with ICEF Monitor, a leading source of independent market intelligence for international student recruitment.

This collaboration aligns with ICEF’s Together for Transparency initiative and AIDO’s mission to democratize access to trusted intelligence for universities of all shapes and sizes. The partnership brings new depth and clarity to international enrollment offices navigating today’s fast-changing landscape. By integrating ICEF Monitor’s insights directly into AIDO’s existing knowledge base of thousands of vetted sources, institutions gain even more timely, transparent, and actionable intelligence to guide their strategies with confidence.

The partnership also integrates ICEF events into AIDO’s Travel Planner, further connecting global intelligence with enrollment strategy.

Ross Holmes, VP of Global Brand Solutions at ICEF, noted that the timing of this collaboration is particularly important as the sector adapts to rapid shifts in policy, demand, and competition.

“What excites us most is the potential for stakeholders to gain a more holistic view of the market. By combining ICEF Monitor’s independent analysis with the practical, data-driven insights that AIDO generates, institutions can make smarter decisions with greater confidence. Ultimately, it’s about innovation that benefits everyone — educators, agents, and students alike.”

“ICEF has long been one of the most innovative and trusted voices in international education, setting the standard for transparency and thought leadership in our sector. We built AIDO to make clarity and context accessible and this partnership accelerates that mission. Partnering with ICEF Monitor not only validates the importance of the work we’re doing, but also allows for a more innovative, connected, and transparent ecosystem for international enrollment.”

– Rishab Malhotra, Founder and CEO of AIDO

Both organizations share the belief that international education is strongest when information is open, transparent, and actionable. This partnership reflects that shared mission — to empower enrollment leaders with clarity, foster trust across the sector, and strengthen the ecosystem for the benefit of all stakeholders.
