In December 2020, HolonIQ announced our first annual Europe EdTech 100 — a list of the 100 most promising education technology startups across the region.

There are thousands of EdTech companies across Europe supporting learners, teachers, schools, institutions and companies to positively impact educational outcomes, support access to learning and increase the efficiency of educational processes and systems.

The HolonIQ Europe EdTech 100 recognises the most promising EdTech teams based across Europe excluding the Nordic-Baltic EdTech 50 and Russia and CIS EdTech 100. This annual list helps to surface the innovations occurring across this diverse set of markets, and the teams who are supporting institutions, teachers, parents and learners.

Around half of the 2020 Europe EdTech 100 operates in the Workforce sector, followed by K12 and Higher Education.  Compared with other geographies, the Europe education market is relatively mature and well supported by governments. EdTech can be seen to be supporting institutions through management systems, digital learning environments and digital content. On the B2C side, Tutoring & Homework help and Language learning are strong with marketplace, diagnostic questions, and peer platforms.

In the workforce category, internship platforms, apprenticeship programs and job discovery dominates along with coaching, tech skilling through to specific domains such as surgery practice and online driving school.
