Elice Becomes the First Korean Company to Win Singapore Ministry of Education’s Digital Textbook Development Project

Elice to commence development of IDT prototype led by Singapore’s Ministry of Education

Elice Inc. (CEO Jae Won Kim) has become the first Korean AI education solutions company to win a digital textbook (IDT, Interactive Digital Textbook) development project led by the Singapore Ministry of Education (MOE), further strengthening its position in the global education market.

Elice has successfully secured the project after intense competition in the public tender for the development of a digital textbook system issued by the Singapore MOE. Over the next six months, the company will develop a prototype for use in Singaporean secondary schools and conduct validation tests in local classrooms. This project aims to leverage AI technologies to advance teaching and learning environments in line with the Singapore MOE’s educational digital transformation roadmap.

Korea’s AI digital textbook development and classroom implementation experience highly recognized

Elice has been at the forefront of AI digital textbook development in Korea. The company developed AI-powered digital textbooks for elementary and middle school information subjects that passed the Korean Ministry of Education’s official screening and approval, and successfully introduced them into real school settings. Through this process, Elice has advanced its AI education technologies by developing:

• education-specific AI models that provide students with a safe AI learning environment,
• AI-based assessment and feedback systems that support teachers’ workload, and
• personalized learning support features.
  

The technologies accumulated during Korea’s AI digital textbook initiatives—along with Elice’s strengths in content design, data-driven education operations, and extensive on-site implementation experience—served as key competitive advantages in winning the Singapore MOE project. Through this engagement, Elice will both validate its AI capabilities in the global market and secure a significant global reference.

Jae Won Kim, CEO of Elice Inc., said, “Although the use of AI digital textbooks in Korea has been limited due to policy changes, it is highly meaningful that the technologies and content we have accumulated can now be widely utilized again in real classrooms through this Singapore project. During the prototype development phase, we will rigorously measure and verify learning outcomes, and work to expand into cross-curricular applications and long-term service deployment.”
