Classum Named 'Pre-ICON' for Innovation and Growth Potential

AI-based learning platform Classum has achieved the feat of being selected for 'Pre-ICON,' a key scale-up program by the Korea Credit Guarantee Fund (KODIT), recognizing its innovative technology and growth potential. With this selection, Classum will receive not only financial support of up to 7 billion KRW but also non-financial support such as overseas market expansion and promotion, accelerating its global leap. Pre-ICON selects promising startups that are between 2 and 10 years old by comprehensively evaluating the innovation, growth potential, and technological prowess of their business models, and Classum received high scores in all these aspects. Leveraging this support, Classum plans to further strengthen the competitiveness of its core product lines, including AI-based 'Skill Solutions,' 'LXP (Learning Experience Platform),' and 'Connect (AI Consultation System),' and actively pursue expansion in domestic and international markets. Through this, it aims to further solidify its position as an industry leader. Classum's innovativeness has already been proven worldwide. Major companies and educational institutions in 32 countries, including Samsung, LG, Hyundai, Seoul National University, KAIST, and Yonsei University, are utilizing Classum. Notably, 'Classum Connect,' an AI consultation solution launched this January, successfully achieved rapid market adoption by being introduced to organizations like the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry and Ulsan University in just three months. Its performance on the global stage is also remarkable. Achieving consecutive successes, including ranking first in the GESAwards HP Track in 2021, being selected as one of Forbes' 'Asia's 100 Most Promising Companies,' being listed in HolonIQ's 'East Asia EdTech 150' for four consecutive years, and earning five badges on G2, the world's largest business review platform, it has unequivocally demonstrated its prowess as an EdTech leader. Lee Chae-rin, CEO of Classum, stated, "This Pre-ICON selection is a result of Classum's technological innovation and business competitiveness being officially recognized." She added, "Through this opportunity, we will accelerate service advancement and continue to grow as a solution that contributes to solving real problems in corporate and university settings."
