In August 2020, HolonIQ announced our first annual Nordic-Baltic EdTech 50 — a list of the 50 most innovative education technology companies in the Nordic-Baltic region.

The region has a thriving EdTech ecosystem with innovative solutions in advanced technology such as Virtual and Augmented Reality, AI, STEAM & Coding and Robotics through to Language Learning, Teacher & Student Support, Learning Resources and Environments being selected into the HolonIQ 2020 Nordic-Baltic EdTech 50.
