2020 has been a major catalyst in enhancing the learning process not just for students and educators, but also for investors and edtech startups. Edtech companies saw their long-term business goals achieved within six months.

The pandemic has accelerated the adoption of digital technology in education with global edtech investment on track to grow over 15% in 2020. Edtech startups are helping schools and universities to adapt and evolve. Across the three main education categories K-12, post-secondary, and corporate training, technology is infused throughout the life of a learner. That throws up a lot of new opportunities in the B2C and B2B space.
