About Us

Our mission is to save lives by redefining exceptional human performance and unlocking every individual’s full potential. Our vision is to transform the way people are trained by unlocking the untapped resource of human performance data in simulation and training.

Our customers are some of the biggest aerospace, defence and renewable energy companies in the world. We work closely with them to deliver cutting edge simulation solutions to their end users.

We believe in creating shared value for our customers, investors, employees and community by adopting the ‘Triple Bottom Line’ and the B Corporation constitution. This means our company has a legal obligation to balance sustainable profit, with sustainability for people and the planet.
