Softwin teaches Brits a lesson

Romanian software developer Softwin, which, apart from software also is also active in the IT services segment, has become the only non-British company to participate in an online education project conducted by the BBC for school children in the UK. Softwin competed for the BBC project with 300 other international companies and was selected as one of the 25 technology providers for BBC’s Digital Curriculum project that will have 215 million euros in funding. The purpose of the project is to build an online education service that uses interactive games and complies with the school curriculum in the UK. It is not yet known how large Softwin’s involvement will be. The contract follows Softwin’s becoming the only Eastern European company to win the IST Prize, granted by the European Commission and 14 European national academies for innovation over the last four years.
