USA EdTech Trade Mission

7-10 April 2025
Fast-track your export development in the USA
The EdTech in Australia market has experienced remarkable growth in the last three years. The sector reached $4 billion in 2024, a third of which was export revenue. With the global EdTech market projected to grow to over $7 trillion by 2025. Now is the time for us as a sector to consolidate and capitalise on new opportunities offered by international markets.
In April 2025, EduGrowth will host a small delegation of Australian EdTech leaders on a USA EdTech Trade mission to build an understanding of the USA EdTech Innovation Ecosystem within the context of the globe’s leading EdTech event – ASU + GSV.
This delegation of Australian EdTech companies will enjoy a program featuring the best of the US EdTech Ecosystem leaders, specialist consultants and leading industry hubs. Participants will gain knowledge, insight and support as they develop their US entry strategy.
Who should attend?
This trade mission is designed to support companies that are ready to learn more about the potential for growth in the US EdTech Market.
You should consider joining if you:
- View the US as a potential market for expansion outside Australia
- Want to better understand how your company fits in the Global EdTech environment
- Already have a few customers from the US organically and would like to be more strategic about growing this market
- Looking to seek investment through US capital markets

Why attend ASU + GSV Summit?
The New York Times describes the ASU + GSV Summit as “The Must-attend event for education technology investors.”
Each year, thousands of industry leaders, investors, entrepreneurs, and educators arrive with an open mind and come away from the Summit with new relationships, meaningful connections, and a wider, deeper network.
The Summit has become the most important space in EdTech for networking, deal-making, idea-sharing, learning from thought leaders, meeting innovators, finding investors and foundation funders, and more.
AND EduGrowth delegates will save $3,000 on the regular ticket price.

Program
The program is centred around the ASU+GSV Summit in San Diego, the world’s largest EdTech conference, and aims to build an understanding of the USA EdTech Innovation ecosystem. We will host briefings with leading US EdTech thinkers, curate networking opportunities and connect you with consultants that will support your US growth.
However, the real value of a huge conference like ASU+GSV is what happens outside of the main program. EduGrowth will guide you through the side-meetings and other informal aspects of the summit where you often gain the most valuable insights and connections.
Trade Mission Briefing | Attendees will get a taste of what to expect over the coming days. This briefing will provide key information you need to make the most of the program. |
US Market Entry Masterclasses | EduGrowth will engage leading voices from the US EdTech sector to brief delegates on the opportunities for your company. These sessions will provide actionable insight from strategic partners that support EduGrowth members with insights you can’t get elsewhere. Expect to hear from Investors, Government Policy Setters, Strategic Consultants and US EdTech Founders that will provide the unfiltered truth about building export sales in the USA. |
