“With our goal to create the ‘world’s greatest learning society,’ we have dedicated over ten years to product development, becoming a major player in digital transformation in education. This has led to the development of hardware, software, platforms, and learning resources across all educational levels, including corporate training, non-degree programs, and the Lifelong Learning platform aom-ai, which aims to create a learning community,” he said.
Currently, NetDragon provides educational services in over 2 million classrooms with more than 150 million users across 192 countries worldwide.

Their AI-powered platform, aom-ai that they are jointly developing with the Minister of Higher Education and will be available later this year adapts to individual learning paces, allowing users to accumulate knowledge effectively and efficiently.
“A key feature of this platform is introducing an AI teacher, which enables users to communicate and develop with an AI-enabled teacher focused on the learner’s chosen course. This approach personalises the learning experience and enhances the overall educational journey, making it more rewarding and enriching” added Dr. Leung.
Mr. Natasak Rodjanapiches, Executive Director of EDA (Thailand) Co., Ltd., emphasized that aom-ai enhances learning efficiency and career development, with recognised certifications.
