Anoto’s education subsidiary Knowledge AI makes a major step into securing a government contract with a Middle East country and Anoto takes measures to alleviate cashflows concerns from pen manufacturing

Stockholm, 7 September 2022 – Anoto Group AB (publ) (“Anoto”) announces that its education subsidiary Knowledge AI Inc. (“KAIT”) is currently working with a government in the Middle East to conduct a Proof of Concept (POC) pilot for KAIT’s AI Solution. Before purchase, it is customary for edtech products to undergo a POC pilot. The POC will finish in December of 2022.

In preparation for large scale manufacturing, Anoto is in discussions with a large electronics manufacturing company in Korea to manufacture pens on a contract manufacturing basis.

“We are very happy to be working with the government of a major Middle East country to advance their education. We have had numerous meetings with various government agencies including the Ministry of Education before reaching this stage.  When consummated, this contract will certainly change the status of KAIT and our chances of securing major funding. In addition, we are very close to signing with a contract manufacturing company in Korea who will buy all components and produce pens for us. It is a structure similar to that of Foxconn and Apple. This contract is going to alleviate working capital needs in the growing stages of our business,” says Joonhee Won, CEO of Anoto Group AB.
