The World Robot Olympiad Association is proud to announce MathWorks as a new Premium Partner. As a leading global developer of software for scientists and engineers, MathWorks brings powerful software such as MATLAB and Simulink into the hands of WRO teams around the world, empowering them to build innovative robotics solutions to real-world challenges.
Through this new collaboration, MathWorks will support students and educators across WRO’s global network by providing access to industry-standard software for simulation, modeling, and problem-solving. This aligns closely with WRO’s mission to bring young people together to develop creativity and STEM skills through hands-on robotics competitions and activities.
“MathWorks is excited to sponsor WRO and provide MATLAB and Simulink to the students and teachers involved in the program. The mission of WRO — “To bring together young people all over the world to develop their creativity, design and problem-solving skills through challenging and educational robot competitions and activities” — is a core part of our student competition program strategy. We look forward to working with and learning and collaborating with teams, sponsors, and the organizers around the world.”
— Lauren Tabolinsky, Senior Manager of Global Student and Academic Programs, MathWorks
MathWorks’ software is already widely used in higher education and industry for robotics design, machine learning, and autonomous systems development. By integrating this software into WRO’s platform, students gain early exposure to advanced technologies and workflows — a major step in preparing the next generation of engineers and innovators.
“We are thrilled to welcome MathWorks as a new partner of World Robot Olympiad. Their software and expertise will be a great asset to our global community of students, educators, and mentors. At WRO, we strive to make robotics and STEM education accessible to all, and MathWorks’ support will help empower the next generation of innovators and engineers to shape a better future. We look forward to the collaboration ahead and to seeing the impact of this partnership in classrooms and competitions around the world.”
— Claus Ditlev Christensen, Secretary General, World Robot Olympiad
The partnership builds on a shared vision between the two organizations: to inspire young minds, promote creativity, and nurture future leaders in science and technology. WRO’s growing global platform — with +95 participating countries — provides a perfect opportunity for MathWorks to connect with students who are eager to learn, build, and make a difference.
As part of the Premium Partnership, MathWorks will also contribute to content development, training resources, and curriculum support for teachers and mentors. This is a long-term investment in global STEM education — and in the future of innovation itself.
