The future of EdTech startups begins here.
A collaboration between Fondazione Sviluppo e Crescita CRT, xEdu and OGR Torino is underway with the aim of supporting startups from across Europe, with the project spanning from Helsinki to Turin.
NextEdu is the international acceleration programme dedicated to startups in the Education Technology sector. The programme's objective is to enhance the education ecosystem and provide 10 startups with support in creating transformative learning solutions with a strong pedagogical impact.
NextEdu 2025 will address a range of issues, from emerging learning technologies to new models of access to education, with a cross-cutting approach to educational innovation. The thematic verticals it focuses on include experiential and adaptive learning technologies, artificial intelligence applied to teaching, microlearning, blended learning, augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR), learning support tools for neurodiversity and accessibility, corporate training and talent development, and alternative financial models to promote more equitable access to education.
Significant space is also dedicated to solutions for reskilling and upskilling with a view to the future, in response to the growing need to train new digital and professional skills.
The 2025 edition is scheduled to commence in October at OGR Tech, where the selected startups will participate in an intensive four-month programme.
NextEdu's mission is to fortify the EdTech ecosystem in Italy by providing educational solutions that are highly pedagogical. The programme includes personalised coaching, specialised bootcamps, ongoing mentoring and access to a global network of investors and strategic partners. Newly established companies will benefit from a comprehensive programme of events at OGR, which includes dedicated workspaces, networking events and real-world environments for experimentation.
