Speak Agent Selected as Finalist for DAI Innovation Into Action Challenge

May 4, 2016

DAI, a global development company, selected Speak Agent as a Finalist for its USAID-funded Innovation into Action Challenge. Speak Agent was among nine finalists selected from a field of nearly 300 entrants. Speak Agent is working with DAI and USAID to find a site to field-test Speak Agent’s academic language learning platform with a local partner. The test will aim to support workforce development efforts for young adults entering technical fields. We are hugely excited about this amazing program — many thanks to DAI and USAID for offering the opportunity to participate and for selecting us as a Finalist!
