Infobase Recognized in TIME’s Top 500 Global EdTech Companies

The rankings, developed by TIME and Statista, evaluated companies based on financial strength and industry impact. While the global EdTech sector encompasses consumer apps, tutoring platforms, and workforce training, Infobase stands out as one of the few organizations on the list dedicated to supporting libraries. According to CEO Bill Rieders, the company aims to scale the traditional mastery of librarians, helping learners navigate a digital landscape where basic literacy is rising but advanced information literacy remains under pressure.

Data from the OECD 2023 Survey of Adult Skills underscores the urgency of this mission, showing that 26% of adults across member countries struggle with basic written comprehension. To bridge this gap, Infobase provides a suite of subject databases, streaming video, and research tools. Having operated for 85 years, the company continues to position itself as a key infrastructure provider for universities and school districts, ensuring that users can evaluate and apply knowledge effectively.
