Munich, Germany – Speexx, the leading people development platform, has been shortlisted among the top three entries in the Learning & Development category of the 2026 HR Innovation Award.
The HR Innovation Award is presented each year at Zukunft Personal Europe and recognizes HR technologies, products and services that address current workplace challenges. An independent jury of HR experts selected Speexx following its evaluation of the entries in the Learning & Development category. The winner will be announced on 15 September 2026 in Cologne.
Speexx was shortlisted for its People Development Platform, with AI Coaching and Speexx Talk™ highlighted as key innovation drivers. The platform brings together Business Coaching, Language Training, Mentoring, Intercultural Training and skills development within one enterprise-ready environment. Global HR and Learning & Development teams can use it to extend access to high-quality development across regions.
“AI in people development has to earn its place by solving a real problem,” said Armin Hopp, Founder of Speexx. “At Speexx, we use AI to make high-quality practice easier to access and to give HR and L&D teams better evidence of progress. This supports our move towards a broader communication capability offering, with human expertise still central. Being shortlisted among the top three is welcome recognition of that direction.”
