Edtech company Davida announced on December 11th that it had signed an exclusive distribution agreement with South African IT education specialist SAADC for its AI-based self-directed learning solution, Genie Teacher. This agreement is seen as a prime example of how Korean edtech technology can contribute to bridging the global education gap.
The contract signing began at the TechCrunch Disrupt 2025 event held in San Francisco last October. Davida first met with SAADC officials while participating in the 2025 Shinhan Square Bridge Incheon Global Program, hosted by the Shinhan Financial Hope Foundation. Over the next two months, they held video conferences to demonstrate Genie Teacher, answer technical questions, and coordinate partnership terms.
SAADC, a leading company in the digital transformation of public education and vocational training in South Africa, praised GenieTeacher for its diverse input methods, including tablets, paper notes, and smartphone photo input, enabling learning even in areas with limited internet access. GenieTeacher digitizes student notes in real time, provides personalized feedback and learning guides through AI-based analytics, and allows educators to monitor learning progress in real time.
Meanwhile, Davida has completed initial setup and localization testing in Korea, Cambodia, Brazil, Spain, and the UAE, and aims for an official launch in early 2026. Setup is also underway in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Bahrain, and Côte d'Ivoire, and discussions with potential customers are ongoing in Japan, Thailand, and the United States.
