At the beginning of 2024, Inga Li founded the EdTech company Readioo, introducing a new audiobook format for children where books come to life with sound, speech, and music.
Inga moved to Sweden eight years ago and has since become a mother of two. As a parent, she quickly discovered the challenge of teaching her children to read Swedish, especially since it is not her native language. She also noticed how difficult it is to make physical books appealing in a world where screens constantly compete for children’s attention. To address these challenges, she developed a solution that combines reading and listening, promoting children’s language development in an engaging way.
"During my childhood, books were my best friend, and they still are. Working in the book industry, especially with children’s books, feels meaningful and is something I am proud of. It contributes to positive societal development and hopefully inspires children to start reading early in life. I came up with the idea to create an open platform where books and other products aimed at children can easily ‘talk’. My ambition is to welcome publishers to make their books interactive through our platform, making Readioo a natural part of the book world," says Inga Li, founder of Readioo.
Readioo’s vision is to make reading fun and inclusive through a screen-free experience.
