Collaboration is the key to success in the EdTech industry.
Best practices are discovered and new innovations are made through knowledge exchange. Over the years we've seen many EAF-evaluated EdTech companies spontaneously collaborating with each other. And in many cases one plus one has equaled three or more.
As the year is turning to an end, it's an ideal moment to plan which EdTech awards you will join in 2022.

To make it easy for you, we've created a list of 2022 EdTech awards.
As we all know, the education market is enormous and it's almost impossible to understand how it's structured.

Over the years we've been frequently asked questions related to key aspects of Finnish education market: how many schools are in Finland, how do schools buy Edtech products, who are the best resellers, what are the main Edtech events, etc.
Though the Finnish market is small, it seems many international education companies have an interest in expanding into Finland. And our intention is to help great educational solutions to spread here and help our students to learn better.
For the fresh out-of-the-oven EdTech startups, effective inbound marketing strategies and building a professional brand online, should be a priority. And being featured in various, international EdTech news websites, social media and other channels, is a good way to get noticed by potential clients, attract traffic to your doorstep and form new partnerships.
We compiled a list of useful sites, where EdTech professionals and organizations can network, get featured and stay informed on the latest industry news.
