Project areas range from gamefication of studies to robotic platforms and virtual coaching. Ed-Tech Evolution is tech worlds response to Covid-19 crisis, which presents a challenge to society, but also an excellent opportunity for technological breakthroughs. The week-long, all-online program brought together tech gurus, investors, educational institutions and government officials from Nordic and Baltic region.

The COVID-19 crisis came as a "black swan"event for educational sector, prompting schools and universities to move online and redesign their curriculum accordingly. It will make a lasting impact on how we think about teaching and learning, according to organizers of the five-day event.
