Seomjae Global, which was established in Boston earlier this year, is an affiliate of Seoul-based education solutions developer Seomjae. The company focuses on research and development of AI algorithms, data architecture and educational content. It is also engaged in the joint development and supply of customized learning programs with partners in the US, Vietnam, Japan and other countries.
