Leading the Education Ecosystem Through AI-Based Public Education Innovation and Digital Inclusion

Nepes received the Grand Prize in AI Education Innovation at the 2025 Korea AI Innovation Awards held on November 10. 

This event is a leading AI awards ceremony in Korea, organized by the Korea AI Innovation Awards Committee, co-hosted by the International Future Society, ET News, the National Assembly Future Policy Research Association, and the Korea AI Forum, and supported by major government ministries including the Ministry of Science and ICT and the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy. Under the theme of “K-AI Humanism and Innovation,” the awards recognize companies and institutions that have contributed to industrial innovation and the realization of social value through AI technology.

For more than a decade, Nepes has spearheaded educational innovation by integrating AI and digital technologies, contributing to the development of Korea’s AI education ecosystem based on a human-centered educational philosophy.

Since 2013, Nepes has provided AI education to over 120,000 students and teachers annually through initiatives such as:

• Development of AI educational products and content
• Research on human-AI collaborative learning models
• Execution of government public education projects
• AI education programs for underserved communities

In particular, Nepes partnered with tech company IoTed to develop “AI Geumjjogi,” a ChatGPT-powered voice-recognition AI educational speaker that helps elementary and special-needs students enhance problem-solving skills. The company also collaborated with Seoul National University to academically validate and conduct pilot studies on human-AI collaborative learning models.

Furthermore, Nepes promotes personalized learning through a generative AI-based learning platform and operates “CocoaFab School,” a teacher community with over 5,600 active educators, driving digital transformation in classrooms.

Beyond public education innovation, Nepes develops AI ethics education content, runs the “Digital Hero” project-based learning program focused on solving social issues, and engages in CSR activities to support marginalized groups such as students in remote areas and multicultural families—fulfilling its commitment to public value and social responsibility.

A Nepes representative stated:
“As a semiconductor packaging innovation company that turns an AI-driven future into reality, we will continue to lead efforts to create a better society through AI technology in education.”

This award recognizes Nepes’ contributions beyond technological innovation—addressing educational gaps, promoting digital inclusion, and advancing ethical AI practices as part of its social value mission.
