Prometheus Technologies

Currently 2 billion people are financially excluded and financial literacy is extremely low among both youngsters & adults (PISA studies), the need for financial literacy from an early age can mean the difference between a life in debt and a life in harmony. Prometheus can tap into a large global market of smart education estimated at 300 billion US dollars revenues in 2019 to surpass 430 billion US dollars by 2025 (prnewswire) with financial institutions spending roughly 170M $ for financial education purposes (Financial Educators Council). While traditional means are still important, modern means have transformed millennials into a more financially literate generation, but this market is still to be explored, in light of current expansion of e-learning due to the CoVid19 crisis.
