The world’s largest EdTech competition, brought to African startups by GSET.
The Global EdTech Startup Awards (GESAwards) is a part of a global initiative to celebrate innovation in Education Technology with the focus on supporting emerging EdTech startups across various sectors of the industry. Founded in 2014, GESAwards has become the world’s largest EdTech competition, with over 6,000 startups from 130+ countries.
GESAwards offers a global platform for startups to showcase their products, build partnerships, and compete for the title of EdTech Startup of the Year. It helps promote local EdTech ecosystems, facilitates investment flows, and connects startups with industry leaders.
In Africa, the Ghana Society for Education and Technology (GSET) plays a key role in organizing and promoting GESAwards, bringing the competition closer to local contexts and offering African startups valuable global exposure. As the GESAwards ecosystem grows, it provides more opportunities for collaboration and recognition in the EdTech space.
The GESAwards offers significant benefits to EdTech startups. By participating in the GESAwards, startups gain unparalleled opportunities for growth and exposure. These benefits include:
The GESAwards competition allows you to showcase your EdTech startup to a global audience of investors, partners, and potential customers. This exposure can significantly elevate your brand, attracting attention from those who can help scale your solution.
The competition provides a valuable platform for networking with other EdTech startups, investors, and partners. Building these connections can lead to collaborations, partnerships, and mentorship opportunities that help your startup thrive.
GESAwards offers a variety of prizes, including cash rewards, access to investors, and media exposure. These prizes can be transformative, providing the financial support and visibility necessary for expanding your startup’s reach and impact.
EdTech startups are encouraged to apply for the Global EdTech Startup Awards every year when the portal opens: a unique opportunity to showcase innovative solutions on a global stage, connect with industry leaders, and compete for the title of EdTech Startup of the Year.
