We are dedicated to lowering the barriers to entry and innovation in the Edtech ecosystem and are actively working to improve the systems and possibilities available to our EdTech startups and scale-ups.
We aim to support Edtech startups on their journey across Europe - and beyond - by helping them to navigate new Edtech landscapes and ecosystems. This means helping them to find the information and connections they are looking for in order to apply for grants, access local partners, connect with investors and those already operating in the markets they hope to enter.
We support the entire startup ecosystem
