“Words are our most inexhaustible source of magic”
Immer is an award-winning social company that helps people spend their time better by reading more. Based on scientific insights, we developed a new way of reading digital long-form text for reading platforms.
We believe reading is a mighty force for good, helping people learn and empathize – improving our society as a whole. This is why we support the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal #4, about equal access to quality education and improving lifelong learning for everyone.
We’re tech-optimists. Instead of just being a source of distraction, we believe technology can help us read more and better. And as prosperity increases further and gets more evenly distributed, there will be even more time for all of us to develop ourselves by reading long-form text.
That’s great, because reading is unique. No other media form lets you process it at your own pace like reading, imagining your own version, going back as much as you want, and taking notes potentially as a starting point for your own writing.
Since our founding in April 2020, we launched a successful proof of concept app in The Netherlands, working with 30+ book publishers. We did a joint study with the Radboud University and the Dutch Reading Foundation and won international prizes.
