Successes and awards
Skriware was founded in 2015 by robotics and 3D printing enthusiasts. Initially they wanted to produce simple 3D printers for everyone. However, they quickly identified another market niche – the education sector. It gave rise to the idea of developing a fully integrated teaching aid laboratory.
From the premiere of SkriLab in September 2020 until mid-2021, Skriware successfully implemented it in over 50 schools in Poland. Some students can also use the educational laboratory in other countries. For example in Ireland, Belgium, Malaysia, India, Latvia, and Slovakia. After the sales success and acquiring a partner in Australia, it also gained interest from schools in New Zealand.
Skriware takes participation in various competitions and rankings. In the Global EdTech Startup Awards 2020, he qualified for the final eight. In The Extreme Tech Challenge, he was among the 80 best startups in the world out of 3,700 applications. It can also boast of taking 9th place in the Rising Stars category in the Technology Fast CEE 2020 ranking. This high position is due to the increase in revenues by 468% y/y. In July 2021, it reached the semi-finals of the international Top Tier Impact Awards competition in the Education&Media category. Currently, you can see it in the Polish Pavilion during EXPO 2020 in Dubai from October 1, 2021, to March 31, 2022.
