Mintra has retained its position as a Core Leader on the 2026 Fosway 9-Grid™ for Digital Learning.

The latest Fosway 9-Grid™, released in March 2026, highlights a third consecutive year of constrained budgets alongside increasing political and operational uncertainty across the digital learning market. 

These conditions are reshaping how organisations evaluate digital learning, with greater emphasis on value, scalability and measurable outcomes.

The Fosway 9-Grid™ is widely used by organisations to assess digital learning providers.

Developed by Fosway Group, it evaluates solutions across five dimensions: performance, potential, market presence, total cost of ownership and trajectory.

The model is informed by independent research and customer insight, providing an evidence-based view of how solutions perform at enterprise scale.

Within this framework, Core Leaders are defined by a consistent track record of enterprise success, effective delivery across complex organisations, and strong customer advocacy.

The 2026 Fosway analysis points to increasing competition in the market, with customers scrutinising suppliers more closely and prioritising value over volume. At the same time, providers are expanding their capabilities and forming more strategic partnerships in response.

For organisations, maintaining consistent training standards and visibility of workforce competence remains a priority.
