Lingokids joins the ranks of Google, Nvidia, Adidas, Walmart, and more recognized by one of the most coveted awards in business

NEW YORK CITY (March 25, 2026) — Lingokids is proud to have been named to Fast Company’s prestigious list of the World’s Most Innovative Companies of 2026. This year’s list shines a spotlight on businesses that are shaping industry and culture through their innovations.

Fast Company highlights Lingokids as one of the most popular entertainment platforms for kids, noting that “Lingokids draws more than 20 million users each month and has been used by 185 million families.” 

The recognition specifically cites Lingokids’ wide range of successful collaborations: “Now the company is bringing its interactive content to flights: Through a partnership with American Airlines, Lingokids is providing content through the in-flight entertainment system—a boon for many parents looking for ways to keep their children busy while flying. Lingokids currently offers 10 hours of in-flight programming for kids up to the age of eight.

“Through partnership with organizations like NASA and BBC Earth, Lingokids is offering more specialized content for its audience,” the major business publication explains. “In 2025, Lingokids rolled out a new series intended to expose children to the variety of career pathways available to them, which launched with a collaboration with NASA on becoming an astronaut; the company also developed an interactive ‘Walking with Dinosaurs’ lesson with BBC Earth.”

Over the past year, Lingokids has steadily rolled out collaborations with entertainment brands such as Disney, Marvel, Moonbug Entertainment (Blippi) and Animaj (Pocoyo) to create interactive content with their IP. Survey data shows that kids often learn about iconic characters for the first time on Lingokids.

“Lingokids has evolved into a category defining platform at the forefront of interactive entertainment for Gen Alpha,” says Lingokids CEO Cristobal Viedma. “This recognition from Fast Company reflects the hard work of everyone on our team to create something truly new and innovative in the kids entertainment space.”

The World’s Most Innovative Companies is Fast Company’s hallmark franchise and one of its most anticipated editorial efforts of the year. To determine honorees, Fast Company’s editors and writers review companies driving progress around the world and across industries, evaluating thousands of submissions through a competitive application process. The result is a globe-spanning guide to innovation today, from early-stage startups to some of the most valuable companies in the world. 

“Our list of the Most Innovative Companies is about spotlighting organizations that don’t just adapt to change — they drive it,” said Brendan Vaughan, editor-in-chief of Fast Company. “The companies we honor this year are redefining what leadership looks like in 2026, pairing bold ideas with measurable impact and turning breakthrough innovation into real-world value. They are setting the pace for their industries and offering a blueprint for what sustained innovation can achieve.”
