"
David McDonald, Group CEO of Being AI, comments “The completion of this acquisition illustrates the business model of our Being Ventures division, where we acquire existing business enterprises, often referred to as "legacy businesses" and then look to grow those businesses organically and with complimentary acquisitions, and then seek to optimise those business with the introduction of artificial intelligence and advanced technology solutions. More than many, we understand the significant impact that emerging technologies such as AI will have on education. We also see a moment in time where New Zealand has the opportunity to lead the world in an industry transformation that was previously impossible.
