More than one million EDURINO products have been sold, and the platform is used in over 1,500 schools and learning institutions. It’s a fresh, interactive way to make learning playful, age-appropriate, and effective.

Thomas Bleyer, Managing Director at Ravensburger, says: “EDURINO excels at aligning analogue play with digital education. With its clear educational concept and child-orientated design, the team not only wins over children and parents, but also us as a partner. We believe EDURINO has the potential to make a long-term impact on digital early childhood education worldwide.“

EDURINO focuses on building an interactive learning world for children aged 4 to 8, where play and learning naturally go hand in hand. Their holistic approach blends educational content with engaging characters, digital storytelling and physical tools like figures and an ergonomic pen—all designed to spark curiosity.

Looking ahead, EDURINO plans to expand its offerings with video content and hybrid products that combine digital and hands-on learning. The platform is also opening up to collaborations with popular children’s brands, integrating them into its educational experience.

The goal: to create a new, emotionally engaging category of learning that truly resonates with families.

“By scaling up, we want to reach even more families with EDURINO – digitally, stationary and cross-media networked. In Ravensburger, we have found the ideal partner who wants to actively shape our vision of playful learning. Proximity to retailers and the expertise to develop products together are crucial for us,” explains EDURINO Co-founder Irene Klemm.

“EDURINO unites pedagogical expertise with state-of-the-art technology to create a learning platform that captivates children and earns parents’ trust. We see great potential in EDURINO to make a lasting impact on the educational landscape and look forward to actively shaping this journey as a partner,” says serial entrepreneur and Akasol Founder Sven Schulz.
