The company, Thinglink, began from the idea of connecting objects in our physical environment to digital information about them, and making the process easy for everyone to perform. Over the years, the company's primary concept expanded to using digital objects, and virtual tours, to access simulations of places and situations in the physical world.
In 2018, Thinglink was awarded the UNESCO ICT in Education.[2]
