Challenge

Traditional corporate training often struggles to engage employees and deliver measurable outcomes. While gamification offers proven results in boosting retention and motivation, many HR and L&D teams lack the resources and expertise to implement it effectively. At the same time, game designers face barriers entering the corporate space due to limited industry connections. LevelUp Indy aims to solve both challenges by creating a dedicated platform for cross-industry collaboration.
