Global digital consumer product revolutionizes learning: Funzi & Indosat Ooredoo partnership gives millions of users in Indonesia access to quality courses
We have big partnership news! We are proud to announce our partnership with Indosat Ooredoo, the leading digital telecommunication company in Indonesia. The collaboration announced on October 7th will accelerate digital education and bridge the quality learning gap. It gives millions of Indosat Ooredoo customers access to free and affordable mobile courses and revolutionizes digital learning for Indonesian consumers.
Game-changing digital learning product for consumers
We made a shift 18 months ago from a partner-specific service into a comprehensive digital learning product for consumers. In the past year and a half, we have launched a wide selection of mobile courses addressing employability, sustainability, and other 21st century skills and unlocked access to mobile users worldwide. Many of the courses are based on content from Pearson, the world’s leading education company, and our global content partner.
Not only is Funzi available for anyone with a mobile device, but our free courses ensure that everyone, regardless of their situation, has the opportunity to learn and grow. Indonesia is the world's fourth most populated country, and entering the market is a significant step in our quest to bring digital learning to everyone. With the Indosat Ooredoo partnership, Funzi will reach more users than ever before.
Critical skills just a click away
Indosat Ooredoo customers can enjoy high-quality learning content on Funzi simply by clicking the link sent to their phones via SMS. The notification directs users into the Funzi web app, where they can boost essential skills that will help them advance in their careers, improve their well-being, and live a happy, meaningful life. The courses range from communication, problem-solving, leadership, life skills, including entrepreneurship, career development, sustainability, sales, and financial management.
The Funzi learning service runs on any internet-connected mobile phone browser, works seamlessly even with 2G networks, and requires little Internet bandwidth to access. The courses are broken into bite-sized portions, and complicated theories are made easy to understand by using everyday conversational language. Micro-learning allows users to fit learning into their lives with just 15 minutes a day. Gamified and scientifically proven pedagogy keeps users committed and celebrates learners’ milestones and accomplishments to increase motivation.
“We are proud to partner with Funzi, an award-winning mobile learning service from Finland, to provide a mobile learning solution for our customers. As Finland has the best-developed education system globally, we hope this partnership will help bridge the gap in quality learning across Indonesia using technology and ensure equal educational opportunity for all. Now, our customers can enjoy a variety of training courses for free available on the Funzi service to develop the skills needed for them to build a brighter future. We hope that customers can fully take the benefits of this partnership and contribute to enriching people’s lives and the growth of Indonesia as a digital nation.”
— Ritesh Kumar Singh, Chief Commercial Officer of Indosat Ooredoo
“We are honored to be working with Indosat Ooredoo to provide easier access to digital education and create an impact that helps shape the future of many in Indonesia. We share the same vision to provide accessible education for all, especially the youth, to help them navigate and thrive in these challenging times. The training courses available on the Funzi service can be accessed anytime, anywhere across Indonesia, and designed with unique pedagogy to help users fit learning into their lives.”
— Aape Pohjavirta, Founder & President of Funzi
A new consumer product category from Finland in the footsteps of mobile games and ringtones
Finland is the world leader in education and technology. Funzi unites the two industries and establishes a product for global markets. While most learning services focus on the developed markets and high-end devices, Funzi can be accessed from every connected device with a browser and this inclusive approach makes Funzi a truly global product.
Since the ‘90s and early 2000s, the golden years of the Finnish mobile industry with ringtones and mobile games, Funzi represents a new global digital consumer product category launching from Finland. Funzi’s whole product offering extends beyond mobile courses to include various supporting assets such as Funzi webinars and guides, social media content, and a career and personal development hub for Funzi users on Facebook. The end result is a seamless user experience. Funzi has grown from a mobile learning service into a multi-channel learning ecosystem.
