EdVentures Global Business Acceleration (GBA) Fellowship offers Korean Edtech startups an all-expenses-paid 5-day program to the Greater Bay Area, the Silicon Valley of Asia. The Fellowship is designed for growth-stage education ventures that have demonstrated success in their home markets and are considering international expansion. Therefore they are targeting Edtech startups in Korea to join their competition. The EdVentures GBA Fellowship selects 12 fast-growing EdTech startups from around the world to join the program in Hong Kong. The program takes place in November. In addition, these 12 startups will be connected with potential investors, partners, and customers in the education and corporate sectors in Hong Kong and Southern China. Furthermore, they will be able to get first-hand information on the business potential of this fast-growing region and grow their network.
With many private English academies (Hagwons) having to close down due to COVID-19, there has been an acceleration in the adoption of e-learning technologies. This includes remote teaching and corporate training. Edtech has been around for decades, and South Korea has embraced EdTech as education is a major priority in Korea. Therefore, many Edtech startups have risen in South Korea. They have played a major role in supplementing offline learning with more engaging multimedia content. Soon, most of the e-learning will take place in the cloud through interactive live classes, online labs, and online assessments. Furthermore, with the adoption of 5G technology, this form of e-learning in Korea will be seamless and will deliver great learning experiences and outcomes.
However, there is still room for innovation. A more personalized learning experience can be achieved. Therefore, students in Korea will now be able to learn at their own pace. Therefore, private learning institutions like Hagwons will need to adapt to tailor their curriculum for each student. This is not possible in a physical classroom setting.
For a more personalized learning experience, AI will need to be involved. AI can determine a student’s level of engagement through facial recognition. In addition, the student’s level of attention can be monitored to keep the student’s focus. Technologies like AI and machine learning will lead to innovations.
The EdVentures GBA Fellowship offers an in-depth look at opportunities in the GBA as a launchpad to the global market, a fundraising center, an R&D testbed for Asia, and an international supply chain management center.
This kind of access will take years, however, through the program, it can happen within days. Getting international exposure will be crucial for Korean Edtech Startups to get investments outside of Korea. Korean Edtech Startups can register for the EdVentrues GBA Program through their site.
