SDG Alignment

A human learning gamechanger

Lingvist aims to accelerate the process of human learning, including through language learning. This will ultimately catalyze significant socio-economic, cognitive and scientific advancements, helping people work towards meaningful life objectives such as improved opportunities in employment and education, and overall personal development. The company’s technology allows to automatically add smaller languages, which are often underserved by traditional language educators.

At Rubio, we believe that Lingvist epitomizes how the determination of one person (founder & CEO of Lingvist Mait Müntel, CERN alumnus and nuclear physicist) can change the process of human learning around the globe.The technology currently works for languages, but Lingvist’s long-term goal is to apply the technology to power any field of education. With our investment, we want to radically speed up the process of human learning.
