Definition and reporting of the EdTech market separately from education will provide greater clarity and understanding of EdTech\u2019s economic contribution and help support sector initiatives. The establishment of an innovation fund that supports education institutions to adopt new Australian innovations and the profiling of key growth markets globally are key areas where government can help accelerate the sector.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text_block_v1][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.14.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.14.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/edugrowth.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Blog_Ecosystem-report-3.jpg” align=”right” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.23″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.14.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/edugrowth.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Blog_Ecosystem-report-5.jpg” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.23″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.14.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.14.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text_block_v1 main_heading_tag=”h3″ admin_label=”EdTech Census – title” module_class=”equal-item” _builder_version=”3.19.4″ custom_padding=”50px||” header_line_height_tablet=”2″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Initiatives for education institutions to contribute to the maturation of the ecosystem include adopting new technologies, piloting and endorsing effective products, and leveraging their intellectual weight and expertise as educators to support EdTech companies in advisory roles, academic oversight, structured advice and mentorships.<\/p>\n The Australian EdTech ecosystem comprises approximately 600 EdTech companies from startup to established businesses. Along with the national discussion, we also highlight local themes. Sydney is home to the strongest concentration of EdTech startups with well-established support networks; this market could be an EdTech challenger city to Boston. Melbourne is the next largest EdTech community and could be a significant test-bed market with a focus on co-creation between EdTech and education providers. Whereas the Western Australian timezone, shared with parts of Asia, offers unique opportunities for Perth EdTech companies seeking to serve international markets with support and implementation services.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text_block_v1][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”3.25″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/edugrowth.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Blog_Ecosystem-report.jpg” url_new_window=”on” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.23″ custom_padding=”||” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text_block_v1 main_heading=”Register to download report” main_heading_tag=”h3″ align=”center” admin_label=”Register to Download” module_class=”equal-item” _builder_version=”3.19.4″ text_font=”||||||||” ul_font=”||||||||” header_line_height_tablet=”2″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_text_block_v1][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.27.4″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Note: this page will refresh on submit to reveal the download link<\/p>\nInnovation fund<\/strong><\/h3>\n
