EdTech Accelerator

The EdTech Accelerator aims to support European EdTech startups and SMEs in developing innovative educational technology solutions. The programme delivers a yearly 12-month incubation and acceleration framework, which provides mentoring, networking, consultancy, training, and business and access-to-market support. The accelerator also manages three open calls for pilots, supporting at least 20 EdTech startups/SMEs, and organizes impactful European-wide communication activities. The ultimate objective is to foster an EdTech ecosystem that drives innovation, creates jobs, and achieves clear educational outcomes, with a particular focus on ethics, inclusion, accessibility, privacy, security, and strong pedagogical foundations.
