Ascendia, a leader in digital education solutions in Romania, and Samsung, a global technology leader, announces a strategic partnership to help modernize and digitalize schools in Romania.

The partnership aims to bring the advanced educational content creation features of LIVRESQ directly to Samsung Flip interactive whiteboards. These tools will enable teachers to tailor content to the specific needs of their students, create cross-curricular lessons, integrate different multimedia resources and interact with pupils and students in a more dynamic and effective way.

"Our mission at Ascendia has always been to provide access to high quality education to as many pupils, students and teachers in Romania as possible. We understand that in the digital age we live in, access to technology and digital educational resources can make all the difference in a student's academic success or a teacher's effectiveness. By integrating LIVRESQ, our interactive digital editor, into Samsung Flip interactive whiteboards, we are taking a significant step towards achieving this goal.

This integration is not just about providing technology - it's about creating a modern, flexible and engaging learning environment that encourages continuous exploration and development. It's about providing a platform that teachers can use to create and distribute interactive educational content, content that can be customized to suit the specific needs of each student and learner.

We see this partnership as a tremendous opportunity to make a positive impact on education in Romania and we look forward to seeing how it will help shape the future of education in our country", said Cosmin Mălureanu, CEO, Ascendia.

This initiative will make cutting-edge educational technology more accessible to educational institutions in Romania. LIVRESQ licenses will be made available for all Samsung Flip interactive whiteboards used in a variety of educational institutions: from kindergartens, schools and high schools to universities and libraries. This will result in increased access to high-quality digital educational resources for pupils, students, teachers and researchers in Romania.

"The collaboration with Ascendia completes the series of strategic partnerships we are targeting within the SEED program, a program designed to support the Romanian educational environment. Through this program, we aim to provide schools with the cutting-edge technology needed to develop digital skills among students and teachers. Currently, there are around 7,000 Samsung interactive whiteboards in the connected smart classroom ecosystem, where communities can benefit from shared educational resources, whether it's a teacher in Alba delivering an interactive lesson across 3 counties, or a digital library accessible to all. This is not only an impressive statistic, but also an illustration of our commitment to putting technology at the service of education. With every interactive whiteboard that comes into the classroom, we open up new possibilities for learning and teaching. So not only do we simplify access to high-quality digital educational resources, we also provide a nationwide service and support infrastructure, including a dedicated call center. Integrating the LIVRESQ educational editor on these tablets only amplifies this potential, enhancing the educational experience for a significant number of schools. Our mission is to build a brighter future through education and technological innovation, and this partnership with Ascendia is a major step in that direction," added Cristian Constantin, Head of Division Enterprise Business Team & Education Strategy Director-Central Eastern European Display Organization, Samsung.

According to the Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI - Digital Economy and Society Index), Romania ranks last out of the 27 EU Member States in terms of digital skills. But digital literacy is essential for future generations. Following Gen Z, the digital natives, are Gen Alpha, a generation that is calling for a redefinition of traditional educational methods and a shift towards active and interactive learning.
