Description

Abstract
The 21st-century teaching and learning system is evolving to respond to global challenges of economic competitiveness, a greater focus on educational equity, and a demand for impactful educational solutions and enhanced return on investment.



Yet, Education is sometimes an unpredictable industry. If one is launching a start-up in the Educational Technology (EdTech) niche, they need to be prepared for the specific and often quirky challenges that will come up while attempting to enter into the market. At the same time the EdTech industry has exploded on a massive extent; the competition is huge and to stand out one must be unique in multiple ways. Nevertheless, the European EdTech entrepreneurship ecosystem needs a lot of support since it is less advanced than the one in US or even China.



The ENTER_EdTech project is at the forefront of this challenge by improving the quality of entrepreneurship education in HE around EdTech by bringing together academic and industrial partners with entrepreneurial experience and expertise in educational technologies and learning pedagogies to empower undergraduate & postgraduate students, faculty members, researchers, staff and educators as well as university alumni to become EdTech entrepreneurs.
