About ISOE

Education accessible to everyone, everywhere.

We believe education is a basic human right. ISOE is building a virtual university, with campuses planned where education is scarce and expensive, so that where you are born no longer decides what you can learn.

Our story

Started by practitioners

ISOE was founded in Lahore in 2020 by people from the technology industry. We had seen the same problem again and again: a wide gap between what is taught in classrooms and what is needed in practice, and too many courses taught by people without real industry experience.

So we started teaching ourselves. Since then we have delivered training in game development, web and mobile development, 3D modelling and specialised industry tools — including Blender, AutoCAD, Flutter, Dart, Node.js, HTML, CSS, MongoDB, MySQL, JavaScript and TypeScript — to learners across several countries.

Today our team works at the forefront of AI itself, contributing to AI development for companies including Alibaba, OpenAI, Anthropic, Snorkel AI, Turing and Micro1. That experience now shapes our AI programmes for professionals.
