EdTech week: Snapshots from London!

#EdTechWeek

#Event

The 4th annual Startup Mini-Summit took place on 16 June 2025 unofficially opening London EdTech Week 2025. It was organised in cooperation with techUK, UCL, AWS, the European EdTech Alliance, and EmpowerED – a three year long EU-funded project supporting the European EdTech ecosystem by informing, connecting and engaging its key stakeholders.

The event brought together more than 100 participants from across Europe, including innovators, growth-stage startups, investors, ecosystem enablers, and early-stage entrepreneurs. They shared ideas and feedback on how to improve conditions for the European EdTech startup ecosystem.

The conversation was driven by five building blocks ‘to accelerate EdTech growth in Europe’ identified by the European EdTech Alliance, during their work on the EmpowerED project:

  • A common understanding of what “EdTech” means
  • Strategic governance and policy alignment
  • Infrastructure and skills for innovation and collaboration
  • Smarter funding for sustainable growth
  • Evidence, data, and standards for trust

Read more about the event in the blog post and explore EEA’s policy brief ‘European EdTech Startup Innovation Ecosystem’ to learn more about these building blocks.
