Education innovation insights seminars (virtual)

Welcome to the third virtual EduGrowth Insights Seminars we have planned in 2021. 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 the year, we'll facilitate four seminars that will cover a range of essential topics.

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.
