We’re proud to share that Arduino has ranked #9 in TIME magazine’s 2025 list of the World’s Top EdTech Companies, created in collaboration with global market research firm Statista.This recognition places us in the top 10 globally – and reinforces our long-term commitment to helping educators, students, and institutions harness the power of technology in the classroom and beyond.Published for the second year in a row, the list honors 100 companies driving innovation in education worldwide.
It covers everything from STEM learning and language tools to content platforms and online learning systems.To compile the ranking, TIME and Statista evaluated 7,000+ companies based on two main pillars: financial strength and industry impact.That included a deep analysis of funding, product quality, intellectual property, and relevance to their target users.

Our products support learners at every stage, from K-12 STEM to vocational training to advanced university programs.Just to name a few examples: The Arduino Alvik robot offers an accessible entry point into robotics, computer science, and AI – with support for both MicroPython and the Arduino language.Our Starter Kit is the go-to for beginners of all ages: packed with all the hardware and step-by-step instructions needed for a variety of projects, it’s a complete practical guide to learn the basics of electronics, coding, and IoT. The Student Kit was specifically developed by a curriculum specialist for young learners (11+) and includes teacher guides and lesson plans to support classroom integration.
The PLC Starter Kit helps students and instructors simulate and explore real-world industrial automation, combining robust hardware with cloud-based logic programming.With Arduino Cloud for Schools, entire classrooms can monitor, code, and manage connected devices – no matter where they are.At every level, Arduino is used not only to teach technology, but to enable creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving in real-world contexts.
Building the future of learning As the pace of technological change accelerates, the role of EdTech will only become more central to how we learn, teach, and work.Arduino’s open-source ethos and scalable hardware-software platform make it possible for anyone – from young students to advanced engineers – to dive into modern technology and shape what comes next.We’re grateful to be recognized by TIME and Statista – and excited to keep pushing forward with the educators, researchers, and partners who believe in the power of hands-on, accessible, future-ready learning.
