The second place was followed by Apollo Edu Tech, who provides coding education through unplugged educational gaming.

Hyunwook Jung, the CEO of beSUCCESS who participated as one of the judges for the Demo Day, said, “The 2020 SGSC Demo Day went very successful and fruitful even though it was hosted online and untact due to the effects of COVID19. I hope this Demo Day will bring a new opportunity to the startups who are preparing to enter the global market.”
