About the IET EdTech Ignite

The EdTech Ignite is an online startup and spinout incubator, open to projects from across the Four Nations of the UK, and globally, who use technology-enhanced learning and educational technology to advance learning and teaching.

Agile

We offer the support needed to begin your software development process, guiding start-up teams in technology-enhanced learning towards the release of a minimum viable product, an MVP.

Business Models

In the Ed Tech Ignite, we support the cohort’s project teams in designing and developing a minimum viable product (MVP) or even a minimum value product. This requires considerable business thinking and development. Most notably, this involves building up the expertise in the start-ups to understand intellectual property and associated licensing models, including Open Source.

Knowledge Exchange

As a part of your project's journey through our Ed Tech Ignite pathway, regular reviews will be organised to idea, mock-up, demo, and pitch your way to disseminating output at-scale.
