Nordic EdTech Forum N8 inspires policy making, to have great learning possibilities for grownups in Europe.

The mind-sets of today’s start-ups are completely different from that of small companies from a few years ago. The learners themselves become increasingly engaged in generating knowledge, with the growing importance of peer-to-peer learning.

Chairman of the Board for N8, Märt Aro will speak about innovation in lifelong learning and explain concepts of how to enable higher quality learning solutions on the 4th of June at the European Commission conference in Brussels, Belgium on “Hacking learning”.

“I am inviting EdTech companies that are focused on staff development to come and give your input by joining us at a high-level conference in Brussels where the above mentioned topics will be discussed with experts from all over Europe.”, says Chairman of the Board of N8, Märt Aro.

The conference will focus on new solutions, best practices and policy measures with the aim to upskill a significant share of the European workforce. We need measures that would truly support enterprises, especially SMEs in this challenge. The event will bring together policy makers, practitioners, academic and industry professionals, as well as course developers, start-ups and publishers, with a shared interest in promoting new technology-enhanced learning and training methods.

N8 improves collaboration between founders from Northern European EdTech companies for the development of education. The vision of N8 is aligned with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal 4 – “To provide access to great education to everybody, globally by 2028. To have a better and more caring society for everybody.” To fulfill its mission the N8 has already started cooperation with the European Commission, OECD and other strategic partners. It will continue fostering collaboration with national governments and to inspire everybody to join forces for improving learning experiences and for enabling access to education globally.

We invite stakeholders: Ministries of Education, education providers and EdTech startups to reach out to their country chapter presidents to establish a dialogue.
