Problem

With mass production of low-carbon steel plates, purchasing managers at Tier 1–2 suppliers (20–100 employees) in automotive and shipbuilding need to learn ESG procurement standards (EU CBAM, Hyundai's green purchasing policy, etc.), but existing training is Enterprise-focused classroom sessions (~$375–750 per session, half-day). SME suppliers participate at under 20% due to budget and time constraints, risking disqualification from supply chains for non-compliance.

Solution

Break down ESG procurement regulations (CBAM, carbon footprint, recycling certification, etc.) into microlearning content (5–10 minute modules). Automatically design customized Learning paths aligned with each company's procurement requirements, verify comprehension through practical quizzes and mock audits, and issue completion certificates that suppliers can use to maintain vendor qualification.

Target: Purchasing and quality managers at Tier 1–2 suppliers (20–100 employees) in automotive, shipbuilding, and construction
Revenue Model: Corporate Subscription at ~$29/month for 10 users, additional users at ~$2.25/person/month, completion certificate issuance at ~$3.75 Per Transaction
Ecosystem Role: Education
MVP Estimate: 2_weeks
