Monash University opens EduGrowth higher-ed showcase

In June 2019, Monash University opened the EduGrowth ClearPath Showcase, a higher-ed focussed event that connected six EdTech startups with potential higher-ed clients. 

The event opened with a keynote by Mike Bryant, Director of Learning Transformation at Monash University who discussed the focus education agenda and overarching vision for education innovation at Monash University. His presentation gave an overview of major transformative education technology projects currently being undertaken and provided the audience with a glimpse of the exciting opportunities to come.

The event then progressed to EdTech presentations, Q&A, networking and pre-booked in-depth conversations to discuss business need and EdTech solution fit.

Six EdTech startups were chosen to present, including Open Learning, OB3, Vygo, AccountingPod, Literatu and Successful Graduate. Each of these startups have proven their ability to manage a client relationship with at least one university customer, have the ability to support deployment across a large cohort, have a clear pricing structure and have evidence they have a plan to manage that initial product deployment with the customer.

We invite you to watch the presentations and learn more about each startup.
