New South Wales has solidified its global leadership in education technology with the successful hosting of the EDUtech 2025 Conference and the NSW EdTech Summit in Sydney. These events brought together a diverse array of educators, innovators, and industry stakeholders to delve into the future landscape of teaching and learning. Supported by Study NSW and Business Events NSW, the summit underscored the pivotal role of collaboration between government and industry in propelling educational innovation forward.
The EDUtech 2025 Conference, Australia’s largest education technology event, took center stage during the week. The NSW Government’s strong presence at the conference featured a prominent booth that showcased the collaborative efforts of Study NSW, Investment NSW, the Department of Education, and TAFE NSW. Together, they emphasized NSW’s commitment to driving skills development, fostering innovation, and expanding the state’s global education reach.
EduGrowth data reveals that nearly 40% of Australia’s EdTech enterprises are situated in NSW, employing over 8,000 individuals and generating $1.6 billion in revenue in the past year. Initiatives like AmplifyED, Export Masterclasses, and the Women EdTech Leaders Syndicate are further propelling NSW-based companies towards commercial success and international expansion.
International education remains a cornerstone of NSW’s identity, with more than 328,000 international students from 180 countries pursuing their studies in the state. With the advent of new EdTech solutions facilitating flexible and high-quality learning experiences, the educational journey of international students, both onshore and offshore, is being significantly enhanced. These students are also actively contributing to the state’s innovation economy, with a substantial number of Australian startups employing international students, showcasing their valuable role in driving innovation.
The enthusiasm generated at EDUtech 2025 aligns with broader state objectives outlined in the NSW Innovation Blueprint, Industry Policy, and Trade and Investment Strategy. These frameworks underscore the pivotal role of digital skills, education, and global partnerships in steering future growth initiatives.
With Sydney securing its position as the host city for EDUtech in 2026 and 2027, the momentum in the EdTech sector continues unabated. NSW is not only shaping the future of education within its borders but also setting a benchmark for global EdTech leadership.
Koala News extends its congratulations to Study NSW, Business Events NSW, and all partners from government, industry, and education sectors who contributed to making this week a resounding success for the education industry.
