NEXTMETA Inc. (CEO Choi JinKyo) participated in SLUSH 2022, an event for startups held in Helsinki, Finland from November 17 (Thursday) to 18 (Friday).

NEXTMETA is an edu-tech startup that provides interactive educational solutions for future generations by combining cognitive habits and meta-technology. In light of the change in the type of talent needed in the digital era and the need for a new method of teaching that fosters experience-based “transferable skills,” the company’s goal is to facilitate mobile education by offering innovative mobile-specific learning contents and personalized interactive solutions for optimal learning based on each individual's cognitive habits.

In this exhibition, NEXTMETA introduced MEME WORLD and My Handy Campus, a mobile-first interactive personalized learning solution.

My Handy Campus focuses on the interaction between mobile-specialized learners, instructors, and the platform, and is designed to make learning as fun as memes. This education app is easily accessible by both learners and instructors alike, offering a highly immersive experience that is optimized for mobile, interactive, and personalized.

The level of interactiveness is what makes MEME WORLD unique, according to Next Meta. In MEME WORLD, interactive “short-form” learning contents replace boring, less engaging online educational learning videos to maximize the effect of learning through strengthened interactions between learner and instructor.

In addition, learners can use the mobile-optimized contents to customize their own avatars in the metaverse campus through gamification and social learning as well as receive rewards for educational achievements. Moreover, the app recommends the best learning modules for each user based on the individual’s cognitive habits. Instructors have said that one of its strengths is how instructors can easily and conveniently create mobile-only learning contents through “Next Meta Builder.”

SLUSH is a renowned Northern European global startup exhibition, first held in 2008, where startups from all around the world meet major investors in Europe and Finland. The companies participating in SLUSH 2022 took part in promoting their companies by running the K-STARTUP Pavilion, the side event “K-STARTUP Demo Day,” and networking with professional investors using a matchmaking tool.
