Arta Mandegari and Salman Eskandari, founders of Albert, said: "We are extremely happy and proud to have received this award. We started Albert with a clear vision of democratizing knowledge through technology and lowering the thresholds for each child to learn in their own way. We are proud of the development since the start where Albert has been able to help over 300,000 families in Europe with personal and digital learning, and see great opportunities for continued growth. We also hope that through Albert we can inspire others to both run a successful business and drive social development.”
