Conquer the UK Education Market: A wealth of opportunities for international EdTechs
About This Webinar
The UK education system has undergone a seismic shift over the past year. With technology now playing an integral role in almost every aspect of teaching and learning environments, education providers are allocating more attention to their procurement process than ever before. In this new, technology-driven system we’ve observed a surge of interest in the EdTech market and a wealth of opportunities for educational suppliers.
In this session we’ll be hearing directly from BESA and DIT on how the UK education system has changed and how international EdTechs can develop their presence within it. Join our panel of expert speakers to decode the challenges and opportunities for international companies when exploring educational institutes, partners and investors from the UK.
