2025 Finalists & Winners

THE EDTECH AWARDS 2025 | Navigating a New Era of Learning

It is with great excitement that we recognize the finalists and winners of The EdTech Awards 2025! 

After 15 years (our “quindecennial”!), we’ve seen that we do more than honor achievements—we celebrate with you the spirit of transformation that drives this field forward. You are the visionaries, the trailblazers, the ones who refuse to accept the status quo—because you know that education must evolve, and you have the courage to lead that change.

In recent years, we have witnessed an undeniable shift. The long-term ripples of a global pandemic reshaped how we teach and learn. AI has moved from the edges of education to its very core—personalizing learning, automating tasks, and redefining what it means to be an educator. Alternative pathways like microcredentials and skills-based training are reshaping post-secondary education. And with an ever-changing workforce demanding new skills at an unprecedented pace, we are being called to rethink education itself. And now, with the dismantling of the U.S. Department of Education, we enter uncharted territory—one that brings both uncertainty and opportunity as we rethink the role of technology, policy, and leadership in shaping the future of learning.

These challenges are not roadblocks—they are opportunities. And if there’s one field ready to embrace and lead through change, it’s this one. You are the innovators who see the future not as something to react to, but as something to create. Your work is making education more inclusive, accessible, and effective—breaking barriers, unlocking potential, and preparing learners for a world that is evolving faster than ever.

So as we celebrate the finalists and winners of The EdTech Awards 2025, let’s also recognize the collective force of this community. The willingness to push boundaries. The enthusiasm to dream bigger. The relentless pursuit of a future where technology isn’t just a tool—but a catalyst for real, meaningful impact.

To all of you—educators, entrepreneurs, researchers, policymakers, and lifelong learners—thank you. Thank you for your boldness, your persistence, and your unwavering belief in the power of education. The future of learning is being shaped right now, and those we honor here are leading the way.

Congratulations to our honorees—let’s celebrate!
