On this the CEO of IoT1 Academy, Arne Flick said–
“We are honored and very happy to have been chosen by the IOTA Foundation to operate and maintain the first courses for IOTA to help people to acquire IOTA knowledge fast and sustainable. IOTA and its strategic positioning as the backbone of IoT is the most important 3rd generation distributed ledger for IIoT. For this reason, the IOT1 Academy started to develop as one of the first academies worldwide to own IOTA learning formats to help people better understand IOTA, its technology, the strategy and the ecosystem behind it, as well as enabling coders and non-coders to acquire technical and practical IOTA skills.”
