EdTech in 2022 and beyond: hype or a disruption?
Tuesday 22 March, 18:00 – 19:00 GMT

The astronomical growth in creative EdTech during 2021 is likely to remain as one of the most representative case studies whenever the words pandemic and industry disruption are put together in the years to come. The $21bn raised in 2021 just by European EdTechs (40 times higher than a decade ago), the 17 new-born unicorns or the six IPOs are all in the headlines giving the industry the awareness it deserves.

Today, some voices suggest that the industry has peaked. Others say the sector is set to plateau. We wonder if there is still room for further growth, and if so, which direction the growth will be taking?

Join our panel of investors and EdTechs to unpack the driving forces behind the successful growth of EdTech in 2021 and join the interactive discussion on what is next for the sector.
