Development Advisor financing / Arendusnõunike toetus
By involving a development advisor in the umbrella organisation, we contribute to the growth of research and development activities and innovation capacity of companies in the educational technology sector, and thus to Estonia's economic growth. The project's activities are aimed at promoting technological development in education in cooperation with researchers in order to improve the quality of edtech services and solutions and compliance with educational trends and technological development. This increases the sector's competitiveness and sustainability, while responding to the changing needs of all actors in the education realm.
Within this project, EdTech Estonia acts as a partner of Enterprise Estonia through the program „Ettevõtjate TAI teadlikkuse kasvatamine (TAI võimalused) ja TAI võimekuse tõstmine“.

Academy4Business
The Academy4Business project brought together higher education institutions and business entities from Estonia, the Czech Republic, Poland, and Spain to collaboratively design and implement an interdisciplinary, cross-border, and intersectoral course. The course aimed to foster a business mindset and scientific approach within the field of educational technologies.
This capacity-building initiative successfully bridged the academic and business sectors through reciprocal knowledge exchange and support for future entrepreneurs. The project’s primary outcome was a hybrid course designed to promote entrepreneurial and scientific thinking among future entrepreneurs and knowledge workers in EdTech.
The course included various innovative digital resources developed for a broad audience. Ultimately, the project enhanced the quality and relevance of entrepreneurship-related teaching activities at the partner universities, leaving a lasting impact in the field of educational technologies.
This project (reference no. 2022-2-EE01-KA220-HED-000100644, Erasmus KA2) has been funded with support from the European Commission.
