About No Isolation

No Isolation was founded in 2015 when we developed AV1, a telepresence robot for absent students during periods when they cannot physically attend class. AV1 connects students to their lessons, enables them to learn from their own teachers, and belong in their school community. The children and young people we support are absent due to medical and mental health needs. Our headquarters are located in Oslo, where No Isolation was founded, and our 30 employees work across Europe with offices also in Munich and London.
