For more than 35 years, we have been making life easier for students, teachers, parents and school leaders.
Half of us working here have a background in teaching or school management, so we understand the business. Together, we make sure that everyone has the opportunity to learn more.
Over 5 million users. 400 employees and 9 offices. From Kiruna in northern Sweden to Munich in southern Germany.
We are Scandinavia's leading edtech company.
Our purpose
We are driven by our purpose to create the best learning solutions
We learn from yesterday's experiences. We support today's teachers. Above all, we help create tomorrow's leaders. Every single day.
It's been that way since the eighties, when an idea was born in a garage in Växjö. An idea that would grow into a multinational company with several hundred employees. But nobody knew that yet - except maybe our founder, Björn Sundeby.
Björn wanted to do something that matters to society and do it really well. Since IST was founded in 1982, that "something" has been to deliver high-quality learning solutions to schools and municipalities.
Our vision is that everyone should have the best opportunities to learn more. Together, we create the best conditions for learning - today and in the future.
Our mission is to empower learning, every day and everywhere. If you work with learning, you need good tools to do a good job. We make sure you get them. Our users - students, parents, teachers and school leaders - inspire us to be better and make a difference. So they can make a difference too.
Our vision and mission
We believe in learning
Our culture
We build our business on four core values
We want all our staff to strive for four things in their work - to be honest, professional, creative and resourceful.
This means being trustworthy, keeping our promises and only promising what we can deliver. We always think of our customers' best interests, and use our common sense. We share our ideas and thoughts with our customers, partners and each other. Finally, we make the best of what we have and think sustainability at every stage.
At the individual level, we want to simplify and automate processes for the individual user. From a broader perspective, we actively work with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Read more about our sustainability work.
