Officials from both companies attended the competition, including CEO Lee Da-in of ALUX and Shawn, CEO of Zenius Tech, as well as Malaysian politician YB Ng Sze Han. In addition, many sponsoring companies and educational institutions such as Coway, Panasonic, and the University of Southampton participated, and major Malaysian media outlets also showed enthusiastic coverage.
Zenius Tech, the organizer of this competition, is a leading edutech company in Malaysia and has a total of 26 branches, located in Malaysia and Brunei. NRL is a competition hosted by Zenius Tech since 2019 to discover creative talent and provide a festival venue to develop children's coding efficacy. The NRL is also an overseas qualifier for ALUX G-PRC.
The significance and scale of the competition have grown every year, attracting attention from Malaysia on a national level, and it is said to be gaining a lot of popularity and attention, with major local media outlets also showing enthusiastic coverage on the day of the competition.
The majority of the qualifiers were conducted using ALUX's PROBO products and PRC events. Participating students can challenge themselves in a variety of competitions using robots and coding aids that integrate ALUX’s unique technology. One student who participated in the competition said, “I was able to share the same interests with my friends by participating in various coding and robotics competitions. I was happy to collaborate on various missions in the field and meet friends who had the same dream of becoming a robot engineer as me.”
Starting with the Malaysian NRL, ALUX plans to hold preliminary matches in various countries such as China and Singapore, and the winners from each country will also receive tickets to advance to the Korean G-PRC finals. ALUX plans to introduce its product lineup, including PROBO, robots, and drones, to the global market through G-PRC and seek opportunities for overseas expansion from various angles.
Lee Da-in, CEO of ALUX, said, “Through the first overseas preliminary round of G-PRC, which has grown into a global competition, we were able to feel the high enthusiasm and popularity of coding education in Malaysia, and we are happy to have witnessed the children’s passion and talent for robots.
“I am happy to be able to do this,” she continued. “Going forward, ALUX will spare no effort in supporting G-PRC to establish itself as a global event that enhances the infinite potential and efficacy of future IT talents.”

The finals will be held on Sunday, November 12th, at Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul, with students from various countries participating.
