Unlike the ups and downs of FinTech
and the financial markets, EdTech –
the use of technology in the form of
products, apps and tools to enhance
learning – remains constant.
The education field is large, yet EdTech
has been completely overshadowed …
until now.
EdTech, “the use of technology in the
form of products, apps, and tools to
enhance learning” encapsulates a wide
spectrum of technologies that can be
utilized in the process of education
and training – from the simple use
of desktop computers to the more
cutting-edge use of virtual reality,
artificial intelligence automation, and
gamification.
The rise of this new-age education and
learning world has begun receiving
investments and is predicted to reach
$252 billion globally by 2020. The
tangible benefits associated with
the utilization of these cutting-edge
technologies in the education process
are causing the EdTech industry to
boom, and the large investments are
proof.
The million-dollar question for real
estate professionals: How will the
boom of EdTech impact the corporate
real estate industry?
Although many of the technologies
are still in their infancy, a number of
predictions can still be made. The EdTech Revolution
Edtech is poised
tobe the biggest
andpossiblymost
profitable digitalized
sector yet.
FinTech was all the rage since it started
gaining traction and recognition in early
2016. With all the hype surrounding it
this past year – there's been talk that a
“FinTech bubble” has been created. Is that
the case? If so, is it about to burst?
