Event Overview
The EIT EdTech Conference, which took place on 23 January at The EGG in Brussels, was a milestone for the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), as it represented the very first EIT Community European EdTech event. Coordinated by EIT Urban Mobility, it welcomed more than 100 delegates from over 20 different countries, representing European Institutions, National Governments, Academia and Universities, EdTech companies, and EIT Community.
An outstanding line-up of noteworthy keynote speakers, moderators and panellists delivered thought-provoking insights, sparking meaningful discussions on the challenges and innovation in European Education to build a better future for EdTech, unlocking its power in the digital age.
Participants had the opportunity to engage in hands-on workshops to discuss the past, present and future of EdTech. The last workshop of the day provided an interactive space for participants to put in common what concrete ideas they believe are key to move the EU EdTech agenda forward.
Over 100 attendees made valuable connections that have the potential to foster collaboration and future partnerships, working towards concrete outcomes.
