LAUNCHING THE EDTECH PODCAST FESTIVAL!
THE FUTURE OF TECHNOLOGY IN HIGHER EDUCATION: DEVELOPMENT OR DISRUPTION?
Every year, the WISE Accelerator supports a cohort of up to five for profit and non-profit Edtech initiatives worldwide. The selected initiatives join the one-year program, during which they benefit from tailor-made support to address challenges that hinder their growth and scaling up process. In addition, the WISE Accelerator assists the selected initiatives to connect with an international network of education stakeholders and create opportunities to share knowledge and find support among potential partners, donors and investors during international events organized by WISE.
So far, the WISE Accelerator has supported 18 initiatives from 14 countries. Issues tackled by the selected initiatives range from bringing free educational content to communities least likely to access it (see Rumie) to driving schools operational performance and academic results using big data (see Chalk.com).
The 2018-19 Cohort will kick-off the Program during WISE@ New York during the United Nations General Assembly Week. The cohort will benefit from mentoring, networking and international visibility during the international forums and summit organized by WISE. The deadline to submit an application for the WISE Accelerator 2018-19 is April 24, 2018 at 16:00 GMT. In order to submit an application, please visit Link.
