About
The EdTech industry is poised to grow, with a projected value of $10 trillion by 2030. Targeting children and young people as one of the most powerful end-users, the EdTech market makes a substantial contribution to children's lives by shaping the future of learning and ultimately, their life chances. Hence, it is essential to consider the moral, social, and economic implications of the values that underpin the future of EdTech. How should stakeholders balance their commercial interests with ethical and evidence-based practices to ensure product design, business models, and investment strategies are child-centred? Bringing in experts from East and West, we explore this question from investment and policy perspectives to highlight global trends and opportunities.
