The world is changing - companies need to change with it.

We're all undergoing a huge shift in the way we work. 50% of the global workforce is expected to be mobile by 2020. Millennials will make up 75% of the workforce by 2030. Learning and development opportunities are the most important consideration for this generation when choosing a job - even more than salary and flexible working.

Today, we use our smartphones to meet all our needs and we expect the same convenience from training and communication tools.

At EduMe, we are rethinking corporate training and communication so that it reflects how we work, where we work and how we consume information. 

Leading multinational companies like Uber rely on EduMe to train their workforce in a modern way. Read more about these trends and our views on our blog.

We are backed by Connect Ventures, one of Europe’s leading early stage investors whose portfolio includes great companies like Citymapper, Typeform and Marvel.
