We’re delighted to have won the ‘Coolest HR Tech Innovation Award 2019.’ After an intense day of pitching and networking at the annual HR Innovation and Tech Day event in Mechelen last week, we were selected for the top prize. Find out why in HRMinfo’s article below:

“On 14/5/2019, during the elevator pitch of the 2nd HR innov & tech Day (powered by HRMinfo), MobieTrain was elected ‘Coolest HR Tech solution of the year 2019’.

An expert jury’s points represented 60%, and those of the room 40%.

The jury consisted of:

  • Danny Azou (HR Technology Manager @ Randstad Belgium)
  • Frederik Tibau (Director of International Relations @ Startups.be & Scale-Ups.eu)
  • Bea Cleeren (Community Manager @ Start it @ KBC)
  • Hans Mangelschots (Business Development Manager @ HR Tech Valley)

MobieTrain is allowed to use this title for a year, until the next edition of the HR innov & tech Day.

This third edition of the HR innov & tech Day was attended by 424 participants, 63 percent more than last year.

MobieTrain, founded in 2015, is a mobile platform for personalized learning trajectories.

The start-up recently raised one million euros in a capital round from the Limburg Investment Company LRM, ING and several private investors. The company moves from the outskirts of Antwerp to C-mine Crib in Genk.

In total, 10 suppliers of innovative, web-based HR tools – software packages, apps, web platforms – took part in the elevator pitch: Predictive Index/PeopleForSuccess, MobieTrain, Visotalent, FlowSparks/UNI-Learning, TheMatchBox, Skeeled, UQ Career, Q7 Leader, Spencer en Kazi.

This is just the latest vote of confidence that we’ve had in our product and team in the past month. Last week, we also found out that we have been selected for the prestigious SAP StartupSelect HR program. Accelerator programmes have proven very successful for us, and we’ve also just wrapped up our PWC Scale Programme in Germany.

This award continues to show how micro-learning is the future of work, and companies are benefitting from empowering their employees worldwide with our mobile-based L&D platform.
