<p><strong>How does the Dutch EdTech ecosystem function, where does it run into obstacles, and what is needed to move from fragmented innovation to proven and sustainable impact at scale? The report “Building a Future-Proof EdTech Ecosystem: Insights and Strategies for Scaling Up Evidence-Based Innovation in Dutch K-12” was prepared by the Erasmus Centre for Entrepreneurship on behalf of, and in collaboration with, NOLAI.</strong></p><p><i><strong>Source: Radboud University</strong></i></p><h1>Dutch EdTech ecosystem</h1><p>By ecosystem, we mean the interplay between schools and education professionals, companies and publishers, researchers, intermediaries, investors, and public entities to drive innovation. The quality of their interaction largely determines success. The Netherlands has a strong foundation for educational innovation. At the same time, persistent bottlenecks prevent many promising solutions from moving beyond the pilot phase. This is precisely where the opportunity lies to work more purposefully toward sustainable change and impact at scale.</p><h1>Momentum</h1><p>Currently, several developments are converging to create opportunities for sustainable change: recent indications of structural bottlenecks in the educational materials market, initiatives such as Edu-V and the Entree Federation are laying the groundwork for open standards and interoperable systems, and the EU AI Act (2024) is tightening the frameworks for the responsible use of AI in education. The report “Building a Future-Proof EdTech Ecosystem: Insights and Strategies for Scaling Up Evidence-Based Innovation in Dutch K-12” offers insights and starting points.</p><h1>More at IPON</h1><p>On Thursday, February 12, Inge Volman will present the report starting at 1:30 PM in Theater 5. Will we see you at the Jaarbeurs? There will be time for questions before and after the presentation!</p><p><i>Source: Building a Future-Proof EdTech Ecosystem | Radboud University</i></p>
