Ecosystem 1.0

20 city profiles, 10000 EdTech companies, $8 billion in funding, 500 investors, and 100 community organizations and events

Ecosystem 1.0 showcases the EdTech environment within 20 diverse cities around the world. We have calculated a unique EdTech Index score for each city that measures its maturity against five dimensions of the EdTech environment – companies, funding, community, support and test bed. The 20 cities profiled in the first iteration of the report are home to 40% of the world’s EdTech companies, 7 of which are valued at over $1 billion.
Average global EdTech funding by round: How much do EdTech companies actually raise?
An analysis of median EdTech funding by round in 39 countries.

While we often hear about the billion dollar market size of EdTech, one of the more practical questions is: What is the average deal size by stage in my country? This study compares the median EdTech company funding size by series (seed, A, B and C+) across 39 countries.
Education innovation in China
Insights from the ASU+GSV 2018 Summit

Online learning was (and still is, to some degree) seen as face-to-face’s poorer cousin, with sub-par learning outcomes, poor student experience and high attrition rates. China’s EdTech innovations are taking online learning to a whole new level — it’s exciting to imagine their effect on borderless education as we know it. China’s test-bed environment, demand for alternative education services and market size make a prime combination for a thriving EdTech ecosystem.
Digital Transformation in Higher Education
25+ University Leaders, 40+ EdTech Founders and 100+ Students share their views on digital transformation

Emerging technologies most likely to impact higher education are ranked and priorities across the next generation learning lifecycle are identified in this report.

Project Landscape.

Landscape 3.0

Mapping 26 clusters of innovation across 15,000 companies in the next generation learning lifecycle.

Landscape 3.0 maps $50 billion of investment in 15,000 education innovation and technology teams around the world. Over 70 pages of market maps and profiles across 26 innovation clusters. Analysis of each cluster on the dimensions of scale, investment, traction and disruptive potential is provided.
Landscape 2.0
$40 billion, 50 countries and 5,000 companies on the map shaping the future of education.

What will the next 10 years in education look like? To help us understand how it is likely to evolve and transform, we’ve started mapping the global EdTech ecosystem. It’s been 100 days since we launched Project Landscape — a global, open source, community driven initiative — and I am excited to share Landscape 2.0 next week at the ASU + GSV Summit.
Landcape 1.0
Mapping the future of education: an open-source MVP.

In summary… we found 16 innovation clusters and grouped them into 6 themes in our first scan of the market we call Landscape 1.0. That’s over 2,000 companies around the world representing $16b of investment. We are launching Project Landscape as (eventually) a global, open source, community driven initiative to help us understand what the next 10 years in education might look like.
