Maybe I'll start with the higher education Southeast Asian, read an excerpt of it. There can be potential collaboration efforts within BGV's portfolio with edtech companies in SEA. For example, ProfGym may be used to build a more personalized experience for learners via their patented RealBook technology. Alternatively, Matrix may be used to build quests and user rewards for teachers, allowing their students to have gamified learning experience. That's pretty cool. They're like mentioning specific companies. Within our portfolio. The alliance between technology and education is not just about numbers and scores. It's about illuminating the minds of students, fostering creativity, and nurturing a generation equipped with the skills needed to navigate the complexities of the modern world. Why is this important to me? It matters because beyond numbers, education is about social impact.
