The global landscape of education and employment is rapidly changing due to technological advancements, demographic shifts, and evolving economic demands. The traditional linear progression from school to university to employment is no longer adequate for meeting the needs of individuals or societies. Lifelong learning, facilitated by innovative Educational Technologies (EdTech), has experienced remarkable growth and transformation, driven by the pandemic, rapid technological advancements, increased internet penetration, and the evolving needs of learners and educators. EdTech encompasses a wide range of digital tools and platforms designed to enhance teaching, learning, and administration in educational institutions. By 2021, India emerged as the world's second-largest EdTech market, projected to reach $10.4 billion by 2025 with 37 million paying users. With the implementation of measures to digitalize education, encourage digital learning, and ensure fair access to education through NEP 2020.
The Summit aims to showcase cutting-edge EdTech innovations, share best practices and discuss strategies for leveraging technology to enhance learning and enterprise development. Through a combination of keynote addresses and panel discussions, attendees will gain valuable insights and actionable knowledge.
