EdTech: the Hyper-accelerator The disruptive potential of the infant tech sector

A market still in its infancy, the UK’s education technology (EdTech) sector has proven to be an economic powerhouse in an adverse business climate. Revolutionising the way education can be delivered to students and professionals, EdTech has proven its value in enabling learning to continue remotely in the midst a global pandemic, while simultaneously breaking down the barriers that prevent marginalised groups from accessing it.

As UK EdTech pushes to the forefront of VC investment, we identify the technical skills the UK talent pool needs to cultivate to keep pace with sector demand.
