Attensi is a Norwegian tech company specialized in gamified simulation training. Since our inception in 2012, Attensi has grown to become a global leader in the field, with training solutions used by global brands in more than 140 countries and 30 different languages.

We use gamification, realistic interactive scenarios, and decision-driven dialogues, powered by our game AI, to create a ‘learning by doing’ training environment that encourages repetition and builds mastery. It is a radically new method to achieve high impact training that scales across large organisations.

We support healthcare, pharmaceutical, retail, hospitality and professional services organisations, collaborating with many NHS trusts across the UK and trusted brands including Boehringer Ingelheim, Novartis, Circle K, PwC, Accenture, KPMG, Hiscox and Zurich.

Attensi’s team now consists of more than 200+ Game Changers across our offices in London, Oslo and Boston. With 70 gamechangers based in London Attensi is growing at rocket speed and with our additional funding we are now taking our commercial team to new heights. Do you want to join our journey?
