What ED2 does

ED2 is a privately held Russian corporate training company that specializes in applied generative AI (GenAI) education for enterprises. The firm, headquartered in Moscow with a Skolkovo affiliation, delivers customized training programs that teach business leaders, employees, and IT specialists how to integrate GenAI tools into real business processes, with emphasis on prompt engineering, content creation, data analysis, multi-agent systems, and business process automation.

The company's core offering is the "Gen AI: Training and Analytics" program framework, structured into three tiers: executive programs (3–6 hour masterclasses on code-free AI implementation, 3-hour strategy sessions on AI hypothesis development, and 2–3 hour executive lectures on AI trends), practitioner programs (4–6 hour workshops on prompt engineering, generative AI for content, and data analysis), and advanced programs (a 6–12 hour workshop on multi-agent systems and a 2-week applied course for IT specialists focused on MVP creation). The training is delivered in Russian, uses business language rather than technical jargon, requires no prior digital expertise, and is tailored to each client's specific processes and use cases.

ED2 operates a direct B2B sales model targeting enterprise decision-makers (executives, HR, and training managers), with named clients including VTB, BCS, X5 Group, VympelCom, and FSK. Revenue is generated through professional service fees for customized training delivery, with quote-based pricing that varies by program duration, customization level, and group size; multi-year contracts are offered at the executive tier. Customer acquisition is driven by direct outreach, corporate referrals, and the firm's professional network, including a Telegram channel associated with lead expert Natalya Tsarevskaya, who brings over a decade of EdTech and corporate training experience.

Broad incumbents

• Coursera for Business: Coursera's enterprise arm delivers broad catalog AI and tech training to corporate clients worldwide.
