Export Market Masterclass

Export Market Masterclass

The EdTech market in Australia 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. It’s timely for the sector to capitalise on new opportunities offered by international markets

The Export Market Masterclasses are designed to educate NSW EdTech companies on key export markets, key trends and characteristics, and to facilitate connections to consultants that can provide in-country support to help accelerate NSW export market development.
