An EdTech Foundry in IET

IET is establishing an EdTech Foundry, an online start-up incubator dedicated to technology-enhanced learning. We are open to EdTech projects that are ready for a wider market with potential to scale, across the Four Nations and internationally. If you want to contact us, email: iet-edtech-foundry@open.ac.uk

Agile Infrastructure

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 Foundry, 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 Foundry pathway, regular reviews will be organised to idea, mock-up, demo, and pitch your way to disseminating output at-scale.
