Three Things All EdTech Companies Have In Common

EdTech companies are some of the hottest new enterprises to span two growing sectors: education and technology. They differ considerably in what they offer end users, but they have some important things in common. Here, we examine three key similarities:

1. They all find new ways to do old tasks

At its core, education has been the same for centuries. Yet the way we educate ourselves and others has changed with the advance of new technologies. EdTech companies capitalise on finding new ways to do old tasks, and they do a great job of convincing us to try something novel. Take revision, for example: gone are the days of revision cards getting lost in the bottom of rucksacks; nowadays you can use your smartphone and keep thousands of cards in your back pocket.

2. They all think and work internationally

Education is internationalising and at an increasing rate: more and more schools are venturing overseas to broaden access to their classrooms and EdTech companies need to do the same. Most EdTech companies have international components, international staff and are offering their services to international clients. If you’re not doing so already, now is the time to start thinking about how to make your business appealing to an international audience.

3. They all help to speed up key processes

EdTech companies know that anything that can be done to help speed up some of the core processes in teachers’ and students’ lives can be a fruitful enterprise. Whether it is automatically generating citations or enabling users to sync important documents seamlessly across devices, EdTech companies are finding new and innovative ways to make everyday things easier.
