With the funding, the company is going to broaden the use of its technology and add ten fresh hires in the upcoming year. It will additionally be able to build a new marketplace where instructors can sell their own materials and further enhance its platform to make it fully "self service" so that businesses may design their own training programmes.

The Luminous XR (extended reality) platform, which integrates augmented, mixed, and virtual reality, is provided by Luminus Group, which is led by CEO Ben Bennett and CEO Nigel Hope. It allows users to rapidly and efficiently create training programmes and monitor students' progress.
