Genix Ventures has been selected to participate in the Global Victoria EdTech Innovation Alliance. This will see their solution tested at the Holmes Institute in Victoria, the International Marketing Corporation and Tsinghua University in China, and by language training providers in India.
EduGrowth and Global Victoria have officially selected Genix Ventures for the Innovation Sprints, as part of the Global Victoria EdTech Innovation Alliance.
The aim of this program is to enhance the global reputation of Victorian EdTech and education, and provide an example for the Australian EdTech ecosystem of the opportunities available when this testbed model is implemented.
The Alliance will see the selected Innovation Sprints deploy Victorian EdTech solutions both in Victorian and international education institutions and schools. Over 26 weeks, the Sprints will be overseen by an independent researcher appointed to endorse the Sprint testbed design and validate the efficacy of the solution being trialled.
All 9 of the chosen Innovation Sprints exhibit a clear alignment with the Alliance objectives and are committed to transforming teaching and learning experiences around the world.
