Education Technology (EdTech) is revolutionizing the way we learn, and the newest cohort of startups entering Singapore’s EduSpaze accelerator programme is taking it even further. Seven startups are leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Virtual Reality (VR) to provide innovative solutions and empower students in Singapore and the Southeast Asian region.
Managing Director of EduSpaze, Alex Ng, said “We have curated this seventh cohort of our programme to include promising changemakers. We are proud to be the launching pad to propel them further and guide them on their mission to redefine EdTech and education.”
The seven startups – uWave, Open Academy, AI Blocks, Zezedu, PrimeSkills, Universitas123, and Turtle Learn – will receive seed funding and guidance from education and EdTech experts to establish their market niche, attract investors, and expand globally.
uWave’s co-founder and CEO, Cedrik Lim, said “Most people overlook the importance of building a community in schools, but the networks formed there eventually become invaluable tools for students and the institution. It helps create opportunities for mentorship and meaningful connection, and uWave’s mission is to empower and nurture these vibrant private communities. We partner with schools to establish and foster dynamic communities for their students and alumni. EduSpaze has an extensive network across Southeast Asia, and we’re thrilled about the possibilities this programme holds for our business growth.”
The EdTech market is expected to reach USD 420 billion by 2032, and these startups have the potential to add immense value to the sector. With the help of EduSpaze’s accelerator programme, these entrepreneurs will be able to access a vast network of educational mentors and deploy prototype initiatives, as well as receive up to S$500k in venture capital.
As an educator, it’s important to stay up to date on the latest EdTech advancements, as they will help future-proof the educational environment. By leveraging the power of AI and VR, we can create meaningful experiences for learners and equip them with the skills they need to be successful in the modern world.
