It was traditionally thought that education and technology do not meet, but now Ed-Tech is one of the fastest growing sectors in the UK. There are more than a thousand startups in England with twenty per cent of them based out of London. As per a business consulting assignment conducted by London & Partners, the Ed-Tech sector is now worth £45 million and expected to reach £129 million by 2020. The challenge for this industry in the UK is whether the trends of the USA can be emulated by attracting Venture Capital (VC) funds. Even the British government has granted some such startups to invest in schools on technology. One such startup- Technology Will Save Us (TWSU) – has already started making inroads in providing educational solutions in both online as well as retail formats.
