You're invited to the Nordic EdTech Summit

August 2024, Skellefteå, Sweden

Let’s be honest - it’s brutally tough to profitably grow and scale EdTech businesses.

Ongoing political and technological disruption is making it even more difficult. In fact, 91% of CEOs say that they will need to overhaul their business model this year.

Since launching this newsletter in September 2019, I’ve spoken to hundreds of Nordic EdTech business leaders.

Growing their business is always top of mind. But they’re frustrated by:

• Small local markets

• Slow sales cycles

• Complicated municipality decision-making processes.

To make matters worse, they’re often also:

• Unsure about which markets to expand into

• Worried about how to respond to AI and other new technologies

• Unable to access the funding they need to grow.

But if that sounds familiar, don’t panic. The best solution to these challenges might actually be closer than you think.

Because whatever challenge your business is facing, I’m sure that someone else in the Nordic EdTech ecosystem has already solved it and moved their business forwards.

That’s exactly what the Nordic EdTech Summit is all about. It will:

• Prioritise collaboration, networking and peer-to-peer learning

• Focus on round table discussions with other EdTech leaders targeting similar goals and facing similar challenges

• Feature expert insight from those who’ve been there and done it.

But it won’t all be about business growth. Life as a leader can be lonely, uncertain and risky. So we’ll also highlight opportunities for reflection and give you the chance to build a professional support network.

You’re also probably thinking “Why Skellefteå?” Well, this town in northern Sweden is undergoing a remarkable transformation. 14,000 new jobs will be created in the next four years and there’s lots of new education and skills projects to support the Northvolt battery factory and Green Tech revolution. Plus it’s only an hour from Stockholm Arlanda.

I’ll announce the full programme and confirm dates in due course, but please sign up below to join the wait list.

If you’d like to get involved as an event partner or sponsor, I’d love to hear from you.

Many thanks, Jonathan
