EduEvidence is proud to announce the newly certified companies awarded the Effectiveness Bronze distinction, made possible through our strategic partnership with the Global EdTech Startups Awards (GESAwards). This year’s distinguished cohort represents the regional winners from across the globe, selected through rigorous semifinals hosted by the world’s leading EdTech accelerators and innovation hubs.
The 2025 Regional Semifinals were organised by: MEXT (Japan); xEdu (Nordics and Baltics); Dutch EdTech (Netherlands); StartED (USA West); MindCET (Israel); LearningSpark (South Korea); School Guardian & Positivo (Brazil); Ghana Society for Education Technology (Africa); Esperanza (Hong Kong); Eduvation (Germany and Austria); EdTech Italia (Italy); SEK Lab (Spain and Portugal); LearnLaunch (USA East + Canada); Ingenious Faces (India); EDCrunch (Euro-Asia); regional partners across LATAM, Southeast Asia, France; and UCL EdTech Labs (United Kingdom).
These startups qualified for the Effectiveness Bronze certification due to the strong alignment between GESAwards’ selection criteria and ICEI’s evidence-based certification framework. This collaboration demonstrates that international consolidation in benchmarking can achieve clearer global standards, stronger comparability of impact evidence, and a shared commitment to learning outcomes.
Congratulations to all regional winners. We look forward to celebrating the top global winner at BETT on 22 January at 3:30 BST.
