CELEBRATING ALL WOMEN IN THE IMPACT EDTECH START-UPS!

Today, 8 of March, is celebrated the International Women’s Day (IWD) originally called International Working Women’s Day around the world. A day to fight for the equality, participation and empowerment of women in all spheres of society which was aimed to raise awareness among the population, governments and states about the existence of problems that threaten women’s rights and that today, still need to be solved.

At the present time, this day has a major meaning for us all and has become a fight that not only women, but men carry out too, with the focus always on equality and respect for all human beings no matter the gender or the race.

From IMPACT Ed Tech, we want to celebrate and applaud all the women involved in this experience which have shown a great knowledge in their fields, a great capacity for learning and implementing new methodologies to their projects, and most of all, who have demonstrated their power and strength to become whatever they want to; the CEO of their own company, a great photographer, an excellent sales women…

International Women’s Day, commemorates women’s struggle for participation in society, for women’s emancipation and for their full development as individuals. Today, let us give a big shout out to all the women entrepreneurs involved in this #IMPACTEdTech programme and let’s show that change is possible!

"IMPACT EdTech gave us the impulse we needed. Thanks to the program, the team grew and Kotokan went from an "idea" to a "real prototype”. During the program, our mentors, Dalibor and Eric, were really helpful to us and really engaged with our vision. Together, we properly defined the platform and they helped us reach teachers to test Kotokan".

"The bootcamp helped our startup to put things in perspective. We ended up asking ourselves lots of questions about the growth, the business strategy and the paths and opportunities in the EdTech field. Now, during the pilot, we are learning by doing: having students from 3 different countries to test our scanner app is an incredible opportunity to get valuable feedback that will become the source of inspiration for the next updates of our app".
Bente Malmberg Co-Founder of Notebloc
"The experience that IMPACT EdTech is bringing to Notebloc is priceless. Linked to the goals to accomplish during the program, I am in charge of creating the new audiovisual strategy and content, from photography to video tutorials, for students and professors to better understand the potential of the Notebloc Scanner app and the benefits it brings to schools".

"The IMPACT EdTech program has helped me a lot in improving my skills as I am in charge of operations and finance at Mathia. The program pushed me out of my comfort zone. Thanks to the great mentorship we had, we implemented an OKR management system that I have been in charge of. It helped me a lot in project management and the team loves it. Thank you!".
