This AIM listed digital learning business, is delighted to announce that its subsidiary, PIXELearning Limited has won a US$200,000 public sector funding grant to develop new training modules, which will be owned by Intellego. The modules will incorporate serious games methodology and will be aligned to general management "soft" skills, such as Managing Conflict, Feedback and Meeting People's Needs, Team Building, Diversity, Coaching, Talent Management and Engagement. The grant is typically based on the completion of a small number of milestones, the first of which has been achieved.
New Singapore Office
Coventry University's Serious Games Institute (SGI) has recently opened an office in Singapore and Pixel's strong professional relationship with the SGI has allowed the Company to establish a representative office within SGI's premises.
A presence in Singapore creates an excellent opportunity for Pixel to better identify and service opportunities in the fast growing economies of South East Asia.
Tim Luft, Operations Director of SGI, commented, "We are very pleased to launch this exciting initiative which establishes a key hub in Asia as a way to progress research, widen partnerships and support the growth of serious games across South East Asia. Singapore was chosen because we believe the country has the necessary resources and potential in this area. We are delighted to assist Pixel to set up in Singapore and develop in this market."
Andy Hasoon, CEO of Intellego, commented, "Our presence in Singapore is a great opportunity as the country is quickly becoming the new business bridge between East and West, while also being the logical hub for Intellego to expand into South East Asia. Singapore is a fast growing nation with an English speaking workforce of highly motivated and skilled people. Our first project will be to develop the management training modules which we believe will be in demand in both traditional European and North American markets as well as in fast growing South East Asia."
