At Lingio, we believe learning should be a fun and engaging experience that inspires people to practice and acquire new skills quickly. By leveraging the power of reliable AI and gamification, we transform training for frontline workers with 12 times higher course completion rates than other learning solutions. Trusted by corporations and public authorities, Lingio is the go-to solution for training large workforces. Our esteemed clients include Vardaga, Scandic, Stockholms Stad, Ambea, and Nobina, among others. Our journey began in the summer of 2015 when three ex-colleagues from Spotify and EA Games wanted to make a difference in the world. In response to labour integration challenges in Sweden, they sought to facilitate easy integration into Swedish society and the labour market. Recognising a gap in the learning and development market, our founders combined their gaming and product development expertise to create Lingio. Initially a language-learning product for working professionals, Lingio expanded to meet the demand for fun and effective skill acquisition globally. With extensive experience in reliable AI and learning research, the Lingio team developed the AI Course Creator, revolutionising how skills are learned. And in 2022, we successfully raised 41M SEK (approx 3.7M EUR) in funding, led by BackingMinds, enabling us to accelerate Lingios international growth. We’re proud to have a diverse team of AI experts, teachers, web developers, sound producers, translators, and partnership specialists. Our technical experts collaborate closely with language teachers, educators, and vocational trainers to develop highly engaging and relevant content and tools. By combining our team’s teaching experience with cutting-edge AI technologies, we ensure that learning with Lingio is enjoyable and effective. Join Lingio today and unlock a world of transformative learning for your staff.
