IMPACT EDTECH'S ACCELERATION
PROGRAM IS LED BY ISDI
We walk with the startups through the journey of growing from an idea to a market-ready product.
Along the course of 3 open calls, IMPACT EdTech will support 42 startups (21 per open call) in education and digital learning through a hybrid incubator-accelerator. We will validate, test MVPs (Minimum Viable Product) and prepare them to reach the market by providing early business and go-to-market support, in collaboration with education experts.
Startups will receive business and educational mentoring and training services both in Stage 1 (incubation) and 2 (acceleration). Experts will help to analyse the potential of the startups by short-cycle piloting in real educational settings to obtain preliminary impact assessment data that investors and clients require.
