Fuelling edtech export

Edtech is one of the fastest growing markets in Sweden and globally and holds solutions and possibilities to solve future challenges of education and need for competence. The education industry is still at an early stage of technology adoption and even though we have seen impressive improvements in access to education globally, traditional education systems, teaching methodologies and examination practices are failing to prepare children and young people for their working future. And the need for a shift in competence in the workforce is critical for regional and national growth.

The educational markets are super-complex but Swedish edtech solutions excels in quality, innovation and increased efficiency. How can our edtech ecosystem, sharing knowledge and experience about edtech markets around the world, fuel Swedish edtech on international markets? And what can convince a hesitant investor to invest in edtech?

Schedule
