More people than ever want work that means something. They want to build skills that matter, belong to a community chasing the same purpose, and turn what they care about into real impact. More and more of them are choosing us. This summer, the world took notice.
TIME and Statista named Tomorrow University of Applied Sciences to their World's Top EdTech Companies for a second year in a row. We were recognized among the Rising Stars, the fastest-growing companies in global education technology, placing 7th worldwide and 2nd in Europe.
"This recognition belongs to our community. Thousands of people decided that education should help them find their purpose and act on it, and they trusted us to be part of that journey. Growing this fast shows that the demand for a more human, purpose-driven kind of learning is real, and it motivates us to keep earning that trust." - Christian Rebernik, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Tomorrow University
The Rising Stars list tracks the education companies growing fastest in the world right now. Growth like that is based on people. It means changemakers from around the world looked at what learning could be, chose a different path, and invited others to follow. Our community is growing because purpose-driven education works, and because more professionals are ready for it.
Every new learner makes the network more valuable, the community more diverse, and the shared mission stronger. Behind that growth are working professionals who wanted flexibility without compromise, learning they could apply the next morning, and a network that shares their values. When more people keep choosing this, it says the future of education is already tilting toward purpose and real skills.
We've always believed that a bright, sustainable, and just future gets built by people who transform from within. People who find their calling and turn meaning into action. That belief shapes everything we do: personalized growth paths instead of one-size-fits-all, real-world challenges instead of passive lectures, and a global community that lifts you as you grow. For a state-recognized university built around how people actually learn and apply skills, being named among the world's fastest-growing education companies is proof that the model resonates far beyond our own walls.
If you're already part of Tomorrow University, this recognition is yours. You joined a movement that the wider world now sees. The network you're building, the skills you're developing, and the community you belong to all grow stronger as Tomorrow University grows.
You backed a bolder idea of what a university could be, and it's working.
If you're still deciding, consider this an invitation. Growing this fast means one simple thing for you: you won't be walking alone. You'll find your path, find your tribe, and join people from every corner of the world who chose to make a difference, big or small.
"We started Tomorrow University to help brave people turn what they care about into real impact. Being named among the world's fastest-growing education companies means more changemakers are ready to do exactly that, and that's a responsibility we take seriously. Our focus stays the same: learning built around real challenges that helps our community create change that lasts." - Dr. Thomas Funke, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Tomorrow University
Recognition is encouraging. It's also a starting point, not a finish line. We measure ourselves by the changemakers we support and the impact they create, and there's far more ahead. Rankings will come and go. Our mission stays the same. We educate and empower the brave to create a better tomorrow.
