Learning Intelligence Group is a leading education technology (edtech) pioneer in the Nordic region. We select, fund and grow edtech innovations from the Nordic region into profitable global brands. Born from decades of combined experience in building and funding edtech companies, LIG consists of experienced entrepreneurs and investors who leverage their resources, networks and funds to other entrepreneurs looking to aggressively innovate the undisrupted global education market. The LIG story begins in 2013 in Helsinki, when entrepreneurs Vesa Perälä and Mervi Palander, first founded CLANED, a revolutionary cloud-based social learning environment. Their 4-year journey in making CLANED a success story revealed how edtech companies in the Nordic region lack the funding, business development support and networks to enable their success. The next major step in LIG story took place this year when LIG acquired GraphoGame, a research-driven literacy game and learning environment, to leverage the founders’ experience and networks in building Nordic edtech phenomena. So the LIG journey is moving forward with carefully selected companies and partners. Our vision is to become the world’s leading edtech business development group, enabling global success for the top entrepreneurs and technologies from the Nordic region. The LIG mission is to provide our portfolio businesses with an integrated support system through funding, mentoring and partner network exposure, while simultaneously fostering the nascent edtech ecosystem. The Learning Intelligence team is a diverse mix of highly experienced entrepreneurs, executives, advisors and investors.
