Carnegie Learning Named Fast Company’s 100 Best Workplaces for Innovators

Recognized as one of the world’s top workplaces committed to innovation at all levels

PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Carnegie Learning, a pioneer in AI-driven technology, curriculum, and professional learning solutions for K-12 education, today announced that the company has been recognized as one of the Top 100 Best Workplaces for Innovators by Fast Company. Joining Adobe, Walmart, and Canva, among others, Carnegie Learning was chosen as one of the world’s top companies for fostering a culture of innovation that empowers employees at every level to break new ground.

Chosen from a pool of candidates from a variety of industries, including entertainment, biotech, consumer packaged goods, healthcare, and many more, the company was selected for its award-winning solutions, transformative impact and reach, and its innovation-driven culture.

“Innovation and a relentless pursuit of excellence drives everything we do,” says Barry Malkin, CEO of Carnegie Learning, “so this award is particularly special to us. Since 1998, we have led the ed tech industry harnessing the power of AI to drive student success. Our research and efficacy legacy are unmatched. But it’s our people – over 80% of whom are former educators – that make our company truly great and give us a unique ability to profoundly influence the future of education.”

Carnegie Learning fosters a workplace environment that empowers innovation at all levels through initiatives like CL Next, a business unit dedicated to developing cutting-edge products, and Project Drive, a company-wide effort to empower each department to leverage artificial intelligence in a way that helps drive efficiency and outcomes.

CL Next has incubated many of Carnegie Learning’s newest, most innovative and award-winning products such as MATHstream, the only adaptive, interactive video streaming program for grades 6-12 where certified math teachers and high-profile social media education influencers deliver targeted instruction in a game-based environment; LiveHint AI™, the first generative AI math tutor trained to think like a student; ClearTalk, an AI-powered tool for language learning; and Patterns™, synchronous and asynchronous professional learning to help K-8 teachers conceptually understand mathematical concepts; among others.

To earn this recognition, all applicants underwent rigorous assessment to select the winning companies based on innovative projects, investment, company-wide programs, and workplace culture. Fast Company editors evaluated every application and conducted additional research to generate a score for each company.

“Innovation is a global priority that cuts across all industries, and this year’s list reflects that diversity,” says Brendan Vaughan, editor in chief of Fast Company. “The list includes domestic and international representatives from technology, advertising, finance, biotech, pharmaceuticals, ecommerce, and the nonprofit sectors.”
