XcitED: first feedback, photos and video
"It is widely estimated that education technology is the next big thing. That is why many education startup companies are also participating in Slush every year. This year, xEdu Business Accelerator has also organized an education side event called Xcited. The event included both the stage program on learning and a demo area for startups. The popularity of the demo area was so big that it was impossible to move around the stands. The energy level was like in a small village." — Sanoma Pro.
"Combining education and technology is one of the hot topics and investment opportunities of the near future, summed up the founder of Skype Niklas Zennström at Slush on November 30. This was also reflected in Slush's program this year. Organized for the first time XcitED side event brought together over one thousand entrepreneurs, investors and professionals interested in the future of education." — TEK.
Education was strongly represented in Slush’s education side event yesterday. XcitED brought to Helsinki Messukeksus education professionals, edtech startup entrepreneurs and investors from around the world. — Opetusalan Ammattijärjestö.
