Sharing Edtech Best Practices and Success Stories in Order to Scale Innovation
We want to make sense of the hyped “Edtech” acronym and bring stakeholders who have a different understanding of Edtech together by raising awareness of the different challenges of a fundamental sector. We wish to amplify the voice of a large community of education innovators and share their philosophy, ideas, findings, innovations, achievements with a broader audience.

Areas of study
We address, among others, the issues of...

What type of frugal innovation models exist in countries with low internet penetration? What is possible with basic technological tools?
Data
Data can have super powers to enhance learning. Adaptive learning technologies use data to personalize learning paths: but is this enough? and what about privacy issues?

How to scale innovation? Not an easy question. We look at non-profit VS venture-funded startup companies, sustainability models and venture-scale markets
