Beyond the hype — mapping education innovation clusters and creating open-source resources for a refined understanding of the global ecosystem.
We bring together stakeholders who have a different understanding of Edtech, raising awareness of the challenges of a fundamental sector — and amplifying the voice of a large community of education innovators.
Drop us a lineWe share the philosophy, ideas, findings, innovations and achievements of education innovators with a broader audience. The #EdtechTours are initiatives promoting global perspectives on the future of education & learning, fuelled by local insights and bringing together major sectorial stakeholders beyond functional and geographical boundaries.

Get it hereA research project to learn about education innovations around the globe. We address, among others, the issues of…
What frugal innovation models exist in countries with low internet penetration? What is possible with basic technological tools?
Adaptive learning technologies use data to personalize learning paths — but is this enough, and what about privacy issues?
How do you scale innovation? We look at non-profit vs venture-funded companies, sustainability models and venture-scale markets.
Which tools and pedagogies can be used to create a learning culture inside an organization?
How do purchasing systems work for Edtech products, and how can companies outside a region gain entry?
What are governments' Edtech policies and spending trends, and which technologies are gaining traction in schools and universities?
It all started in 2014 with a Franco-German enthusiastic pair in Jouy-en-Josas.
