The State of EdTech
EdTech stands as a beacon of adaptability. The pandemic drove unprecedented enthusiasm for remote learning, and while M&A activity waned in recent years, its continued significance is underscored by the transformative power of AI sweeping across industries, the stabilization of interest rates, and the increased investment in employee learning by global businesses. The adoption of EdTech in youth education maintains a strong foundation for the industry — the reported use of EdTech grew 99% in K-12 schools since 2020 and accounts for more than half of industry expenditures. However, the evergreen sector finds continued growth in professional development and employee upskilling. Personalized training, support, and career development initiatives offered by EdTech foster stronger working environments and are strategic tools to attract and maintain top-tier talent. This shift both enhances workforce capabilities and helps organizations recruit diverse and skilled individuals seeking progressive career pathways. These trends create a bright outlook for EdTech — and a promising trajectory of capital inflows are anticipated to propel the sector to new heights. Projections show sustained growth and impactful innovations to the future of education and workforce development on a global scale.
