EduGrowth Australian EdTech Directory

Australian EdTech Directory Officially Launched

EduGrowth recently partnered with Austrade to create The Australian EdTech Directory. The aim of the directory is to provide an authoritative source for Australian EdTech companies that are impacting learners domestically and internationally. The Directory was recently launched by Melissa Banks, Head of International Education at Austrade, and will feature as part of the Austrade campaign at GET (Beijing) 2020 and SXSW EDU (USA) 2021.

You can find the directory at australianedtech.com.au

Being listed in the directory provides many benefits including:

Key points

  • EduGrowth partners with Austrade to deliver The Australian EdTech Directory
  • The directory is hosted at australianedtech.com.au
  • The directory is an authoritative resource on high-quality Australian EdTech companies
  • providing Australian companies credibility when entering export markets;
  • enabling economic development agents across federal and state jurisdictions a resource to direct their in-country connections;
  • a resource offering certainty that the Australian originated EdTech companies listed are of high quality.

This is a great resource for the Australian EdTech community. The sector is on a significant growth trajectory, and this initiative was part of a wider project to map the entire Australian EdTech sector in terms of size, value and capabilities. 

To be listed on the directory an EdTech company must meet a number of criteria (detailed below). Approximately 90 companies have been listed at the time of launch and we look forward to expanding the directory over the coming months. 

The directory showcases Australian EdTech companies that are impacting learners, export-ready, investment-ready and focussed on quality learning outcomes.

  • Platforms for administration, student management, content management and learning management within the education sector, or
