Education innovation insights seminars (virtual)

Welcome to the virtual EduGrowth Insights Seminars. This is a chance to gain the tools to accelerate an early-stage startup or to make a seed of an idea, a reality.

In the first half of this year, we’re facilitating four seminars that will cover a range of essential topics. The first session has already passed, but register to this Eventbrite to be signed up for the remaining three seminars.

You’ll hear from established thought leaders in the sector — they’ve been where you are, and have the know-how of what it takes to go further. These seminars will include a Q&A with the speaker and an opportunity for virtual networking with your peers.
