8 Feb

We, at xEdu, are extremely excited to kick off our fifth acceleration program today. After receiving almost 100 applications from 30 countries around the globe, we have carefully selected the top 10 startups that will transform education as we know it.

The top-notch teams that innovate in the experiential, collaborative and game-based learning will start their 4-month learning journey with the best coaches in their fields. The program is built around the strong ecosystem that we have created with our partners.

Samsung, as our premium partner, is focusing on the role of Social Impact in technology development and brings the access to the latest mobile and wearable devices for the startups. Telia Company, as an important ecosystem builder in Finland, helps our teams to scale.
