BETT 2022: Edupreneurs to watch
For KEVRI, our first time exhibiting at BETT London felt like a 3-day whirlwind of networking, pitching, and showcasing our new Knowledge Exchange software.
While enjoying the buzz of BETT, we were also on the hunt for 'Edupreneurs', otherwise known as individuals who use their entrepreneurial skills to connect education to industry.
As such, we have compiled the following 'Edupreneurs to Watch' list to showcase our fellow attendees and exhibitors who are making incredible progress within the global education sector:
